“One of today’s most gifted singers, Jermaine Bollinger presents raw talent, anointed lyrics, and catchy musical arrangements to welcome listeners into the presence of God.” - Terrance Alfaro, Former President/Owner Pure Music Group – Edwardsville, IL "Jermaine's passion for worship reveals itself in the raw energy and drive found on Anticipation. Any of these songs has the potential to be become the next great Praise & Worship staple.” - Geoff Turner, CCM Publishing Executive – Nashville, TN “From a marketing standpoint, I believe that Jermaine brings a great amount of potential to the table… Jermaine’s style as a music artist fills what I see as a void in today’s Christian music field. While he excels at leading contemporary worship, he also has shown immense strength…in reaching back to traditional and ancient hymns of faith and reworking them in a way that is both relevant and faithful to the original direction of the song.” - Jacob Swain, Former Advertising and Marketing Specialist for KBSI and WDKA Former Host of ‘The Jacob Swain Show’ on WGGH 1150AM – Marion, IL Every Sunday, Jermaine Bollinger takes you on a spiritual journey. His passion, his abilities, and the voice… are inspirational. His abilities are unlike any established artist or performer. There is no comparison. You never get used to the powerful, elegant, smooth, intriguing, awesome voice. It is too amazing for words. Yet, Bollinger has not only the ability to inspire you with his voice; he can play a slew of instruments extremely well. His talents are well refined in showing others this musical mastery with his live praise band at GT Church in Decatur, IL named FOR|THE|CITY. Bollinger has played with this extremely talented group for just over four months now. It’s easy to see the influence and direction Jermaine has over this group of over 70 different vocalists and musicians and counting. However, they bring their own abilities and musical perspectives to the table that are a force to be reckoned with. Though FOR|THE|CITY can easily back Bollinger up in the studio, and is currently in the process of producing their own album, Bollinger has several studio musicians, who accompany him on his albums thus far, including the much anticipated dual-disc release of The Human Side of Me/Renegade and Bollinger’s second full-length studio Christmas album, Merry Christmas Vol. 2. Josh Morrison and Shadi Frick are powerhouses on guitar and bass respectively. The newest additions, Kyle Grove and Dan French are also members of FOR|THE|CITY and boast a host of abilities on guitar and bass as well. Bollinger, the pillar of the group leads the charge on vocals, backing vocals, keyboards, acoustic/electric guitar, and drums and percussion, as well as songwriting, engineering and production. There are no limitations on genres when it comes to Bollinger’s influences and writing style. This is why he has no comparison to any established artist. He can sing literally any genre and adhere to the styles they possess. From Jazz to Rock, and funk to rap, Bollinger can do it all. Playing for a congregation of 2000 on a weekly basis and boasting 14 full-length albums, Bollinger has entered the studio with four different groups for his latest projects. Bollinger and Frick are currently working on a funk and soul album that is yet to be titled. Frick is doing all of the composition and Bollinger is doing all of the songwriting and vocals. To be released in the months ahead include FOR|THE|CITY’s debut album. The Bollinger, Morrison, Frick trio head your way again with the third and final edition of their Christmas album simply titled, Merry Christmas Vol. 3. Lastly, Bollinger is set to release his most anticipated album of all time entitled, The Human Side of Me|Renegade, with the first two set to release early January 2015 and late November 2014 and the dual-disc album set to release in September of 2014.
