Jeremy Clyde is not just one half of sixties British Invasion duo Chad & Jeremy, he\\u2019s also an accomplished actor and songwriter who recently embarked on a one-album-a-year solo project entitled \\u2018The Bottom Drawer Sessions\\u2019. Jeremy takes the stage in a rare solo show to launch the newest installment of The Bottom Drawer Sessions, performing new songs, some Chad & Jeremy classics, and stripped down versions of deep cuts from the psychedelic years. The first of Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde\'s 14 U.S. chart hits was 1963\\u2019s "Yesterday\'s Gone", followed by "A Summer Song", "Willow Weep for Me", "If I Loved You", "Before and After" and more. TV appearances included "Shindig", "Hullabaloo", "The Patty Duke Show", "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "Batman."

Their musical adventure-and evolution-continued with the hits "Distant Shores" and "You Are She" , from late 1966, but they turned a corner with the September 25, 1967 LP release \\u2018Of Cabbages And Kings". Looking back at the classic album, All Music guide says Chad & Jeremy "were gifted songwriters who could work outside the standard pop framework of the day, and Chad Stuart (who orchestrated the album) was a talented and imaginative arranger who gives the material a sound that\'s both rich and intimate."

That songwriting gift never left Jeremy Clyde, and through decades of off and on touring with Chad & Jeremy and on and on acting on British television--including "Downton Abbey"-- and the stages of London\'s West End. Beginning with the 2014 release of "The Bottom Drawer Sessions No. 1", Jeremy Clyde has --with more than 50 sweeping, evocative, inspired recordings- reclaimed the title of \\u2018songwriter\\u2019. He describes the Bottom Drawer sessions as \\u201canalog songs for an analog age\\u201d. With his 2018 U.S. tour dates - on his own and with Peter Asher - another title, "troubadour" can\'t be far behind. Special thanks to Jeremy for a wonderful interview.
