Lunch in the Square: Jeremy Facknitz

Join us for Lunch in the Square on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, at noon in Sprit Square!

Jeremy Facknitz has been delighting audiences with his brand of high-energy theatrical folk-rock-jazz for nearly 30 years. He's a 3-time finalist in the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition at Kerville Folk Festival (Lyele Love, Steve Earle, and Nanci Griffith are TWO time finalists). Jeremy has been able to make performing his 'day-job' for the last 10 years by taking his show in the road in the U.S. and Canada. Heavily influenced by Billy Joel, James Taylor, Elvis Costello, and Ben Folds - his music is a "throwback" to when songwriters weren't afraid to turn it up loud, look you in the eye and play more than the same tired four chords. He embodies the soul of an old-timer troubadour, bitten by a radioactive rockstar. John Apice of American Highways says "this is all far above the ordinary... A good time is guaranteed for all" while John Barlass writes "Jeremy Facknitz is, indeed, a major talent - and, I can guarantee, like nothing you'll have ever heard before."
