About Me |
|
| I am a guitarist/singer/songwriter living in South Carolina. I am originally from Virginia, and now play in and around the Myrtle Beach area. My music is a mix of many different genres, from Blues, Jazz, Rockin' and Rollin', country, and whatever comes between, so labeling it is hard. So, let's just classify what I do as in the Jamband genre, yet its taken to another level. Music is my passion. Wherever the muse leads me, I hope to see you there.

Thoughts on Jerry |
