Jeremy Schonfeld is a singer/songwriter/composer/lyricist. The recent production of his musical Drift at North Carolina's "Hot Summer Nights at the Kennedy" (September 2009), garnered Schonfeld several "Best of ..." honors including "Best Show of 2009" from Triangle Arts & Entertainment, and "Best Original Music" from Indy Week. Of the production, critics praised "Schonfeld's courageous rock and soulful song-cycle sensitively articulated a series of moments in a divorce, largely from the husband's point of view ... a prismatic set of rocking, thoughtful, raging, aching - but ultimately joyous - confessions. Four Stars." (Indy Week). Drift was previously presented as a benefit concert at BB Kings starring Adam Pascal, Julia Murney, Terrence Mann, Jarrod Emick, and Adam Kantor, among others; and as part of the 2006 New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF). Other projects include the development of a new musical inspired by Schonfeld's song "Greta" from the album 37 Notebooks, the new holiday musical It Happened One Christmas for the Flat Rock Playhouse in North Carolina, and a new studio album. Other recent projects include: the album 37 Notebooks, which featured the vocal talents of Shoshana Bean, Tracie Thoms, Amy Spanger, Lauren Kennedy, Luther Creek, and Kate Shindle, among others; the feature film Clear Blue Tuesday; as well as the musicals Home and innumerable ATrainPlays; and the Broadway Dreams Foundation's "Broadway Bootcamp," for which Jeremy serves on the Board of Directors and as Musical Director.
