"Jeremy Bar-Illan was the quintessential folk-rock idol, bearded, singing about freedom with intense vocal energy, eyes closed, vigorously strumming an acoustic guitar... "

-Riverdale Review May 13, 2010

"The virtuoso guitar work on this album might bring to mind Hendrix, Clapton and Page. It is the driving force behind this diverse collection of songs, all of which are anchored by memorable melodies and meaningful lyrics."

-CD Baby 2009

Jeremy Bar-Illan was a pioneer of the Power Pop trend in the late 70s and early 80s as a member of The Touchtones and The Moberlys. In the mid 80s he embarked on a solo career and broke new bounderies with the release of "Watch The Music," an album that combined the edge of rock & roll with electronic instrumentation. With "Locked In Love"Jeremy went big in the late 80s with an eight piece band featuring horns and rich vocals. The album displayed a more developed composition style with impressive horn scoring by Chaka Kahn's legendary scoring wizard, Cengiz Yaltkaya. In the 90s Jeremy turned yet another corner when he introduced The Woodpeckers, featuring Craig Thaler on violin., and a fresh acoustic sound. Jeremy is currently working on a new CD which is due for release in March of 2013.
