Minneapolis-based songwriter Jeremy Messersmith has announced new tour dates for July in support of his new album, The Reluctant Graveyard. Jeremy will return to the west coast on this leg of his North American tour, which has included dates with Frightened Rabbit, KaiserCartel and Telekinesis, as well as a sold out release show at Minneapolis’s historic Cedar Culture Center — a record number of ticket sales for the venue.

During a stop in Brooklyn at Littlefield, Jeremy was filmed giving a haunting and intimate performance of “A Girl, A Boy, A Graveyard” in the rain outside the venue with Minneapolis Culture Club.

Jeremy’s music takes cues from ’60s Beach Boys, Beatles and Zombies-influenced chamber pop and classic pop. His music has been featured on NPR, MTV and “Ugly Betty” among others. Most recently, AOL Spinner chose his track “Organ Donor” as the “MP3 of the Day” Here it is:
