Jeremy Messersmith "A Girl, a Boy, and a Graveyard"

Minnesota based Jeremy Messersmith is methodically (and melodically) dedicated to his song craft, though he notes on MySpace that he is a nerd. His delivery is sweet, Zen gentle; you have to listen close. The musician and storyteller has issued his latest album The Reluctant Graveyard, which is the third and final installation in his trilogy. The others are The Alcatraz Kid from 2006, and last year's The Silver City.

The video we bring you for Halloween is the latest collaboration between Jeremy and Austin based animator Eric Power. It is a return engagement for the two, as Eric's visual art accompanied Jeremy's songs "Tatooine" and "Organ Donor." The new video, "A Girl, a Boy, and a Graveyard" chronicles a love story, featuring two werewolves, a graveyard or two, spooky birds, a spider, and Frankenstein thrown in for good measure! Wishing you lots of treats, and no tricks...

Happy Halloween from the Foggers!
