Award-winning Connecticut singer-songwriter
Dear Therapist, What’s Eating J.Edmond? is a record about taking a hard look at where you’ve been, where you are, and what the hell comes next.
After a successful crowdfunding campaign, plans for several collaborators fell through, and the album took an unexpected turn. Instead of waiting on a record label to make it happen, J.Edmond decided to release the record himself—taking complete ownership of the music and the journey behind it.
Then life threw a few more curveballs.
An autism diagnosis and a heart attack changed the way J.Edmond looked at himself, his relationships, his career, and the limited amount of time we all get to spend here. Those experiences became part of the DNA of this album: the confusion, the humor, the anger, the grief, the hope, and the realization that sometimes the only way forward is to stop trying to be the person everyone else expects you to be.
The result is an intimate, guitar-driven album that feels less like a collection of songs and more like opening up someone’s journal and finding out they wrote the soundtrack, too.
Across eleven tracks, J.Edmond handles vocals and guitar, joined by an incredible cast of musicians including Fernando Perdomo, A. Michael Collins, Paul Chastain, Danny Henry, and Tommy Hayes.
Every song was written by Jeremy M. Edmond, with Track 8 co-written with A. Michael Collins.
The album was produced by Fernando Perdomo at Forward Motion Studios, with Tracks 7 and 8 produced by A. Michael Collins at Gotebo. Executive production comes from Greg Richling, with artwork by Joe Ghoul and Owen Radford with a photo of J by Zach Andersen.
But this album isn’t just the work of the people in the credits.
It exists because of the people who believed in it before they could hear it.
The founding backers, friends, family, musicians, radio personalities, artists, fellow creators, and everyone who has supported J.Edmond and the Starlights community helped bring this record into the world.
Dear Therapist, What’s Eating J.Edmond? is dedicated to Brandon “Slim” Polin & Family.
This is the record that happened when the plan stopped working.
So J.Edmond made a new one.
Welcome to the album.
