A Local Force with Aggressive Folk Roots
Hailing from Somerset, Kentucky, Jeremy and the Spawn is a band built on family ties and powered by raw, original sound. The group’s name originated when singer/songwriter Jeremy Lyons first formed the band by playing music with his children at local open mic nights, starting with Jarfly Brewing Co. The affectionate moniker, “Jeremy & the Spawn,” a name gifted to them by local friends in the band Bedford.
Today, the core remains Jeremy and his son, Orion Lyons, the band’s driving bass player. They are rounded out by the powerful talents of Josh Secrest on lead guitar and Tory Kidd on drums and percussion. All members are skilled multi-instrumentalists, bringing a deep layer of musical versatility to their performances.
Sound and Style
Jeremy and the Spawn’s music is a dynamic blend of original songs that lean into blues and folk-rock, which has led their distinctive style to be dubbed “Aggressive Folk.” This powerful original content is paired with a repertoire of classic rock and southern rock covers that keep every audience engaged.
Perhaps the most colorful description of the band’s sound came from a listener on an Irvine radio show who famously declared that listening to Jeremy and the Spawn sounded like “Robert Plant and Jimmy Page had access to Ale-8-One.” This perfectly captures their unique Kentucky-bred energy, combining legendary rock swagger with a distinctly local, effervescent kick.
Jeremy and the Spawn are available for booking in the Somerset and surrounding areas.
