Video: Jeremie Albino Releases 'Tears You Hide' Short Film

On the heels of the release of his critically acclaimed sophomore album, Tears You Hide, buzzy Americana artist-to-watch Jeremie Albino has launched a short film to accompany the collection. The visual features five stunning songs from the album (“You I’m Waiting On,” “Dance With Me,” “Angeline,” “All These Days” and “Tears You Hide”) – performed with his band, The Rosehall Band.

No Depression recently called the album “perfection,” and “one of the best releases to come out this year.” The short film, shot and directed by longtime creative partner and collaborator Mark Klassen, transports viewers back in time to the historic Owl’s Club in Toronto.

The old legion hall, frozen in time, serves as the ultimate backdrop and perfectly pairs Jeremie’s soulful golden sound with the memories painted on the walls. Speaking of being transported back in time,

“When we were working on the roll out for this record, we had other music video concepts in mind but ultimately decided that the best way to share these songs would be to play them live and try and capture the feeling, energy and spirit of the music,” said Jeremie Albino. 

“Once we knew we were doing a live performance short film, we knew we had to find the perfect location. We were searching for a couple of weeks before I remembered that we had always wanted to shoot something at the Owl’s Club in Toronto. It just had all the character we needed in a location with the space to shoot multiple songs live off the floor.”

Albino recently announced a Fall U.S. Headline Tour, and the series of dates kicks off October 10 in Boston and will make stops in New York City, DC, Chicago, Philadelphia, Nashville, Atlanta and more (full routing can be found below)! Tickets are on-sale now. He’ll also play two sold out shows in his hometown of Toronto at The Drake this November, with a third show just added by popular demand.

Recorded entirely live off the floor, Tears You Hide is a catalog of feelings from time-passed that serves up an ode to family, resilience, and the road ahead. The deeply personal nature traverses Albino’s development as an artist and captivating songwriter.

The artist found support from the team instrumental in the production of his earlier work - The Rosehall Band, his original backing band, and Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes), who co-produced his critically acclaimed debut full length. The importance of working with a supportive and collaborative community is something that he knows the value of not only in his music but also from his days working as a farmer in Prince Edward County.

Jeremie Albino’s grainy ballads are inflected with a joyous tenor that has found him a distinct space in the world of Americana, folk, blues, and country. Re-imagining the image of the lonesome wanderer, his music is rooted in the instant when everyone in a room experiences the same moment in a multitude of different ways—embodying solitude and connection all at once.

Starting out playing late night gig slots, the rising artist’s rigor has landed him a blossoming touring career. Garnering attention from the community and press alike, he’s heralded as “a true resurgence of the most authentic blues brought to life through the eyes of a modern and young, but old-soul artist” (American Songwriter) and “the next in line of emotive band leaders that project soul and directness atop a head turning sound” (Glide Magazine).

With his critically acclaimed debut album, Hard Time (2019), Albino was a supporting act for JD McPherson and then St. Paul & The Broken Bones on his first round of US tours. In 2020, he accompanied Shovels & Rope on tour through the UK and Europe, later collaborating with Michael Trent who produced Albino’s EP, Past Dawn (2022).

He’s also performed alongside contemporary country trail-blazers Orville Peck and Cat Clyde. The nomadic lifestyle suits him and reverberates on stage … strumming with abandon alongside an erupting vocal chorus, his magnetic spirit landed him as one of the best performers at AmericanaFest by Billboard, and he’s just getting started.
