Career

Singer

Niemann was born in Harper, Kansas, but raised in Liberal, Kansas. From an early age, he was influenced by country acts such as Lefty Frizzell, Keith Whitley, and George Strait. He learned to play his first musical instrument on a Tracy Lawrence autographed guitar his mother won in a contest at a Lawrence concert.

After graduating from Liberal High School, Niemann attended South Plains College in Levelland, Texas. Niemann began his professional music career by singing and playing acoustic guitar in Texas clubs and bars, particularly the Stockyard Saloon and the historic White Elephant Saloon located in the Fort Worth Stockyards. In 1999 he self-released his debut album Long Hard Road.

Niemann moved to Nashville, Tennessee in September 2000. He signed a developmental deal with Mercury Records in August 2001 but did not release anything on the label. After parting with Mercury Records, Niemann and his band continued touring the club circuit across America playing venues such as the Grizzly Rose in Denver and the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville. He soon traveled to Europe to tour with the band Kane consisting of members Christian Kane and Steve Carlson.

In 2006, he signed to Category 5 Records and charted with the single "I Love Women (My Momma Can't Stand)". The label closed shortly after this single's release, and the album Behind This Microphone was never released.

2010-present: Arista Nashville

Niemann signed to Arista Nashville's Sea Gayle division, co-owned by Brad Paisley, in 2010. His debut single "Lover, Lover", was released in early 2010; it was originally recorded by the folk music group Sonia Dada under the title "You Don't Treat Me No Good" and was a Number 1 single in Australia in 1992. In March 2010, "Lover, Lover" became Niemann's first Top 40 single on the country music charts and in August 2010 hit Number 1. The song is included on his first major-label album, Judge Jerrod & the Hung Jury," which debuted at Number 1 on Billboard Top Country Sales Chart. The album also was named one of The New York Times Top 10 Albums of the Year. The album's second single, "What Do You Want", debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart that October. In November 2010, Niemann was nominated in the "New Artist" category for that year's Country Music Association Country Music Association Awards. At the 2010 American Country Awards, Niemann was nominated for "Artist of the Year: Breakthrough Artist," "Single of the Year: Breakthrough Artist," and "Music Video: Breakthrough Artist" for "Lover, Lover." He was also nominated for "Breakthrough Video of the Year" for "Lover, Lover" at the 2011 Country Music Television Country Music Television Music Awards. In May 2011, "What Do You Want" peaked at Number 4. The album's third single, "One More Drinkin' Song", reached Number 13 in December 2011. Niemann finished up the year with four nominations at the American Country Awards, including "Artist of the Year: New Artist," "Music Video of the Year," "Music Video: Male," and "Music Video; New Artist" for "What Do You Want."

Niemann released his fourth Arista single, "Shinin' on Me", on April 9, 2012. His second Arista album, Free the Music, was released on October 2, 2012. The album's second single, "Only God Could Love You More", was released to country radio on October 29, 2012.

"Drink to That All Night" was released in late 2013 as the first single off of his third album for Arista. The album, High Noon, was released in March 2014, debuting at Number 2 on Billboard Top Country Sales. In April 2014, "Drink to That All Night" became his second Number 1 single. Niemann collaborated with Pitbull (rapper) on the remix of the song. Singles "Donkey" and "Buzz Back Girl" were also released off this album.

Niemann parted ways with Arista Nashville in January 2016, shortly after releasing another single titled "Blue Bandana". In March 2016 Niemann signed a record deal with Curb Records. He charted in top 30 with the song "A Little More Love".

In March 2017, Niemann released the single "God Made A Woman," a song he called "my favorite song I've ever recorded." Niemann's wife, Morgan, is featured in the music video.

On October 6, 2017, Niemann released his fourth album, "This Ride" and his first for Curb Records. The album reminds fans, country radio that Jerrod is one of the genre's most engaging vocalists and entertaining performers. Also in October 2017, "I Got This" was named Jerrod's new radio single. Jerrod hits that mark on "I Got This," a breezy, easygoing jam destined for summertime playlists. Written by Rodney Clawson, Josh Osborne and Luke Dick, "I Got This" drops the listener right inside the song, thanks to visual lyrics and the air that exists between them. Even the artist himself isn't immune to its imagery. "It puts me in the driver's seat of that car in your mind," Jerrod says, "looking for someone to join me on the ride."

Songwriting

At the age of eight, Niemann was writing several songs a year. He found legendary Nashville songwriters such as Whitey Shafer, Dean Dillon, and Paul Overstreet to be very influential in his songwriting and went on to co-write with all three while living in Nashville, TN. At age of 10 he performed original songs in local talent shows in Kansas. After collecting several compositions throughout high school, Niemann recorded his debut album Long Hard Road in Clovis, New Mexico while attending college in Levelland, TX.

In May 2001, Niemann was contacted by Garth Brooks to collaborate, along with fellow songwriter Richie Brown. Niemann went on to co-write three singles for Garth Brooks: the Chris LeDoux tribute "Good Ride Cowboy", as well as "That Girl Is a Cowboy" and "Midnight Sun". "Good Ride Cowboy" earned Niemann a Broadcast Music Incorporated award for being one of the most played country songs of 2006. Niemann was awarded two BMI awards in 2012 for "What Do You Want" and "One More Drinking Song," each being one of the most played songs of the year.

Other artists who have recorded Niemann's work include Jamey Johnson, Lee Brice, Blake Shelton, Colbie Caillat, Diamond Rio, The Cadillac Three, Mark Chesnutt, John Anderson (musician), Neal McCoy, Christian Kane, and Julie Roberts. Niemann has signed publishing deals throughout his career with Marathon Key Music (a co-venture with Warner/Chappell Music) and Sea Gayle Music.
