Jeremy Fisher (born December 15,1976) is a Canadian singer-songwriter. Originally named Jeremy Binns, he was born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario. Fisher was also a member of the Hamilton All-Star Jazz Band for many years while attending Westdale Secondary School (Class of 1995). Westdale SS is also the alma mater of Martin Short, Eugene Levy, and Russ Jackson. Fisher is currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia and was previously based on Vancouver Island, B.C. and in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.. Fisher also has a Newfoundland connection. His mother is from the province and still continues to live in Hamilton. Fisher's work is heavily influenced by folk and blues music, and his songs feature accompaniment by acoustic guitar, slide guitar and harmonica. He performed with the band The Obvious under the name Jeremy Binns, and some of his early songs that he performed with The Obvious, including "Lemon Meringue Pie" and "Kiss the Moon" are on his later albums. In 1999, The Obvious put out a self-titled CD. To support his 2001 independent debut album, Back Porch Spirituals, Fisher spent six months touring from Seattle, across Canada to Halifax, Nova Scotia by bicycle. The tour, dubbed "One Less Tourbus", travelled 7500 kilometres, included 30 performances, and worked with the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy to raise funds for the "Tour des", promoting access to bicycle transport and to education for girls in Africa. Fisher has also performed as a sidewalk busker. Let It Shine, his first album on a major label (Sony BMG Music Canada), was released on October 12, 2004. "High School", the second single from the album, won wide airplay on Canadian commercial radio and music television in early 2005. In February and March 2005, Fisher toured Canada with Sarah Slean, and in April, he was a featured performer in the Canada Performing Arts Program at Expo 2005 in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. In 2006 Jeremy toured with Xavier Rudd and opened for Rex Goudie on Rex's Outports Tour 2006. Jeremy Fisher dueted with Canadian industrial music supergroup Jakalope on the track "Unsaid" from their Born 4 album, released in 2006. His second album, entitled Goodbye Blue Monday, with fellow Canadian Hawksley Workman, was released on March 27, 2007 by his new record label, Aquarius Records. The single "Cigarette" was serviced to radio in Canada after a surprise add at Toronto radio station 104.5 CHUM-FM in early 2007. A home-made video for the song has been viewed over two million times on YouTube. On August 20, 2007, Fisher made his highly-anticipated U.S. television debut on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. The following night, he again appeared on the Late Late Show but this time with Craig Northey and Pat Steward of Odds. Goodbye Blue Monday was released in the United States on August 28, 2007 through Wind-up Records.
