BIO

Small Houses is a Michigan based indie/folk project featuring the songs and poems of Flint native Jeremy Quentin. Artfully crafted finger-style guitar playing, and softly sung melodies describing the people, love, and homes of Quentin’s life.

In 2011, Small Houses will release it’s Sophomore album, “North,” and it’s preceding E.P. “Just Before The North.” While these albums share similar themes describing the lustrous regions most familiar to Small Houses, Quentin took totally different approaches for recording and producing each record.

The E.P. features the noise/folk instrumentals of producer, Seth Bernard, alongside the traditional folk guitar styles most familiar with Small Houses. This album was recorded on old reel to reel recording machines in a rustic cabin in Northern Michigan with musical accompaniment by both Seth and his partner, May Erlewine.

The full length album took the opposite route of it’s lo-fi cousin. “North,” was taken into a more flashy studio called Backseat Productions in Ann Arbor, in order to capture a more elegant representation of Quentin’s songs. Joining him in the studio were some of the regulars to Small Houses while adding the fresh perspectives of musicians from bands such as The Go Rounds, Frontier Ruckus, Chris Bathgate, and Hezekiah Jones, Red Tail Ring, Samantha Crain, Nervous But Excited, Jim Roll, and m0re.
