ABOUT JERED AMES
Jered Ames grew up working summers on his grandparents’ farm, where a transistor radio in the barn played the country music that would shape his sound. George Strait, Alan Jackson, Joe Diffie, and the ’90s country greats became his earliest influences. His grandmother sparked his love of music, teaching him his first notes on the piano before guitar, drums, and singing followed.
After earning his bachelor’s degree in Chicago and performing professionally in bands ranging from rock to country, Jered moved to Nashville in 2015. He quickly became a fixture on Broadway, performing 200+ shows a year at some of Nashville’s iconic honky-tonks, along with private engagements across the country.
In 2021, Jered opened for Alan Jackson in Jackson’s hometown of Newnan, Georgia, performing for more than 20,000 people.
As an independent artist and songwriter, Jered’s original music has gained millions of streams. His songs “Neon Cowboy” and “Rearview” have both landed on Spotify country editorial playlists, reaching hundreds of thousands of listeners. “Neon Cowboy,” his biggest hit to date, has earned nearly 1 million Pandora plays and more than 400,000 Spotify streams. His music has also been debuted and featured by Nash In Tune, a popular country music media and radio platform.
Today, Jered blends the sound and spirit of ’90s country with a contemporary edge,
bringing the energy of Nashville’s honky-tonks to audiences on stages across the country.
