Bio

After having written dozens of songs in the folk/rock genre, Jerry established a music publishing company in the early 90's and began writing songs for the R&B market. One of those songs, September Forever, received an Outstanding Song award in the Billboard Song Contest in 1994. However, his first love is for classic folk/rock, and the resurgence of that genre has inspired him to get back into recording in the style he loves best. His debut CD, Pop Art Folk, is now available at Amazon.com and CDBaby.com. Jerry is a member of the Songwriters Guild of America, the International Songwriters Association, and the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. He is affiliated with BMI.
