Jerrod Niemann

Get ready for the big Labor Day Weekend Party with Jerrod Niemann at the Watseka Theatre. Jerrod Niemann is not a typical country artist, and the audacious, groundbreaking Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury is a far cry from a typical country album. With the first track, which is a humorously hyperbolic movie trailer, and the attention‐grabbing lyrics of the opening song, “They Should Have Named You Cocaine,” listeners quickly realize they’re in for an extraordinary ride. Niemann’s debut for Sea Gayle/Arista Nashville includes up‐tempo cuts, heartache balladry, wicked wordplay and a couple of cool covers, all woven together with short comedic interludes. The 20 tracks constitute a progressive, album‐length voyage into utterly unique territory in the country music landscape. The lead single, “Lover, Lover,” is a groove‐oriented, handclap‐fueled smash that features nine vocal parts, all recorded by Niemann himself. Jerrod’s hits include; “What Do You Want”, “One More Drinkin’ Song”, and “Lover, Lover” which went to #1 on the Country charts. Watseka Theatre is a beautiful restored 1931 art deco 375 seat theatre.
