(2015)
An album of alt-folk love songs recorded in Elliott Smith's New Monkey Studio in Los Angeles, featuring members of Iron & Wine, Calexico, Neko Case, and Zappa Plays Zappa.
“Jeremy Bass has a Tim Buckley-like purity to his voice, and there’s a warmth and grace to the production here that does justice to the quality of the music. Winter Bare is a stunner!”

"On Winter Bare, Bass has recorded his version of alt-country, inspired by Merle Haggard and Tom Waits.'
Acoustic Guitar
“In remarkable new EP “Winter Bare,” [...] Bass has emerged from the darkness of personal hardship with a record that absolutely deserves to be heard by as many people as possible.”
Pittsburg In Tune
“There are many standout tracks that show off Bass’s harmonic intelligence. “One More Cigarette” sounds like a forgotten track from The Band’s Music from Big Pink. A life affirming keyboard descent leads to a chorus that already sounds like a classic. “Coming Back Home” perfectly opens with an a cappella verse before the fantastic band joins in.”
