 Jerry started his musical journey at the age of 10.  Upon graduation from High School, he enlisted in the U. S. Navy in 1959 where his love of music guided him to win the All-Navy Talent Contest in 1972.  This leads him to the U. S. Navy Band's Country/Bluegrass unit, The Country Current in 1976.  He served as their Leader/Lead Vocalist for the next 12 years.  Upon retirement in 1989, he moved to Roanoke Va., and performed with fellow  SVSA songwriter David Bowen/Acoustic Reset.  Additionally, he assisted David in teaching guitar in the Guitar 4 Vets program at the Salem Virginia Veterans Hospital.
Since his recovery from cancer, he donates time & talent with 'Give Back' performances at local Hospitals & Clinics. His cancer journey has inspired several songs for those still fighting the fight. Those songs, on this website, are marked 'cancer songbook.'  His other songs cover a variety of subjects; love, humor, family,  our military, wounded warriors & true life experiences.  He is an active member of the NSAI in North Atlanta Ga.  & SVSA where he 'hones' his songwriting skills while sharing the country flavor with fellow songwriters.

Now residing in Buford Ga., he is a regular performer for songwriting organizations, service clubs & private parties. Also, he performs songs & brings JOY to residents in Wellness Centers & Senior Living establishments.

Jerry has written over 150 songs in the country-bluegrass vein.  This site features samples of his songs in raw/acoustic style.  His first CD, "Songs For Veterans & Patriots' is on this website, each song is in its entirety.  These 10 songs are noted *from the CD* for your enjoyment.  The CD can be downloaded @ www.CDBaby.com - individual songs, or, the complete CD.  Also, download from Spotify, iTunes, YouTube & other download sites.  His NEWEST CD is titled -"Dogs, Trains, Places & Things That Matter" and contains 13 original tunes in the traditional country format.  It is also available @ CD Baby.com and all other platforms for downloads, etc.  All of the cuts from both CDs are on this website for listening.  Reach out to me through my website at the contact tab.
