JEREMY KEITH GOODRICK

JKG has been involved in music most of his life. Born in Nelson BC, he quickly became attached to music through his mother who would play the organ  for hours on end. At the age of ten, JKG took an avid interest in the drums. “ I remember my dad trying to talk me out of it saying, ‘ you cant play the drums around the campfire son’ “ But none the less at the age of thirteen after getting lessons from his Uncle, Nationally renowned drummer Rod Goodrick (RJG), he got his first drum kit. By the age of fifteen JKG was playing in band at his local high school.  It was during this time that JKG discovered that he could sing as well. 

In 1990 JKG and his family relocated to Mexico, where he lived for 7 years before returning to Canada.  Upon returning to Canada, JKG immediately started working on getting a band together.  In 2001 during Streetfest In Nelson BC, JKG met Tad Campbell (Former Lead Singer And Writer For The Band “Idle Eyes”). Tad Invited JKG to be a part of his upcoming show with Loverboy, thus introducing JKG to the world he had dreamed of his whole life. 

Eventually JKG relocated to Kelowna, where he met Len Peters, a local producer. Len offered JKG the opportunity to record one of his songs.  JKG looked at the song but was unable to feel the song. He requested permission to re-write the song so as to make it more his own. Permission granted, he did so and that song became “Unconditional Love”.          

                Over the following years, JKG continued to write more songs, and in the spring of 2004 was able to go into a studio in Vancouver and record them. JKG was also invited to perform at the Merritt Mountain Music Festival in 2004, where his song “The Merritt Song” was adopted as Theme Song for the festival.

                 JKG performs regularly in the Vancouver area as well as in the Okanagan area.
