Hi all! This is one of my very first efforts, recorded when I was just eighteen, while I was still a student at the University of Michigan. I’m happy to have it available for you here. Enjoy!

Praise for Roaming
"Incredible young fiddler roams through musical genres, from Scottish, Irish & Cape Breton to newgrass, funk, jazz and contemporary classical, in an amazing and cohesive hour of music. With John Behling on guitar, Glenn Brady on acoustic bass, Tyler Duncan on bodhran and Irena Portenko on piano. 57 minutes."
Broadway World
"Jeremy Kittel has already established himself as a world class fiddler."
Sing Out!
"Jeremy is just too damn young to play as well as he does."
Fiddler Magazine
"Keep an eye on this young man; he is truly something special."
David Balakrishnan, Turtle Island String Quartet
"The young Ann Arbor fiddler lit things up at last week's Detroit Music Awards, showing off the technically proficient but soulful Celtic folk that has already earned him a heap of honors -- including the U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Junior Championship. We'd call him a rising star, but he's clearly already risen."
