Jeremiah Eaton, lead singer of the GI Jams ® country group Joe Speed Band, who returned to his home state of Wyoming last year from his 2nd deployment in Iraq, will be the opening act at the Great Divide Music Festival in Rawlins Friday, August 12.
Eaton, a Wyoming Army National Guardsman of the 133rd Engineer Company, will perform a 30-minute set including the band’s tracks “Big and Rich” and “Cowboy Soldiers (Please Send Me A Beer)”, which are featured on the GI Jams Compilation Album, Vol I “The Original Music Of Our GI Jams Military Artists.” The new 14-track CD album, which also includes a ‘battlefield’ music video of his song “Cowboy Soldiers,” made from footage shot during Jeremiah’s deployment, will be available for sale at the festival booth.
The singer/songwriter has been on the promotional circuit in support of the GI Jams Album. On August 4, Eaton chatted up local Wyoming radio station KTGA FM ‘Big Foot’ 99, which also played his 2 cuts from the album. The feature was also broadcast on the local news station KGWN-TV.
