“A Jeremy Gimbel Demonstration” his first secular release, features five dynamic and unique acoustic rock songs showcasing his versatility as a creative singer/song writer. The demo opens with the clever “Song of Songs,” where every line is a title to, reference to, or line from another song. “A Ballad” combines complex chords with deeply meaningful lyrics. The demo takes a sharp turn to the jazz song “Retribution,” and returns to Jeremy’s more well known acoustic rock sound with the heart-felt “Just Stay.” Lastly, the demo ends with “You’ve Gotta Know,” a jazz-rock groove that tells of a fictional guy’s unfortunate love attractions. “A Jeremy Gimbel Demonstration” is for anyone who wants to listen to 20 minutes of good, solid, light-hearted music.

Are you bored with Passover songs? Do you wish Hanukkah wasn't the only holiday with new songs like Adam Sandler's "Hanukkah Song," or "Hanukkah Hey Ya"? Do you wish there was a Passover parody that wasn't written to a melody that was popular before you were born? Are you tired of reading rhetorical questions? Well, here's a question that actually has an answer: What do you get when you take the "k" out of Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi"? That's right: "S8er Boi". Liven up your s8er!
