Jeremiah Richey - Contestant

Having grown up outside of Dallas, in small town Waxahachie, Texas, 25-year-old Jeremiah Richey picked up a trumpet in 6th grade - an action that defined the improvisational musician that he is today. Drums and guitar followed after high school, where he joined a band and paid his way through college playing gigs at local bars and events. His eclectic musical talents make him a self-described "utility man," feeling equally comfortable singing rock, soul, folk or pop.

Willis Allan Ramsey once wrote a song called Northeast Texas Women & included Waxahachie in the lyrics. How's that for a bit of trivia. By the way it is a great song. "Northeast Texas women standing up beat the others lying down".
