Hello Cherries,

Long time no speak. I have been out of commission for the last 3 weeks
due to a small case of walking pneumonia. I'm happy to say that I'm
feeling much better and I'm getting out and back to my normal self. A
special thanks to all my friends and family who helped and offered to
help me when I couldn't get out bed.

"The show must go on." I've posted some videos from my last few shows
on YouTube. The first video is from May 19th at The National
Underground. I performed my new song titled "Lost" with Xue Yang on
cello, and Rich Hinman on pedal steel guitar. Click on this link to see
the performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHuCB9zW45Y. The second
video is from May 20th at "The Scene" at the Delancey. I performed my
song "The Rules" unplugged. Click here to see:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hnpglOrIx8. You can also go to
www.jerrycherry.com to see pics from the last few shows. Enjoy.

My next full band show in New York City will be on August 4th, 10PM, at
Rockwood Music Hall. The great Felipe Torres will be playing drums, and
Andy Stack will be playing bass. Andy is an amazing singer/songwriter.
Please check out both Felipe's and Andy's links below. I hope to see
all your pretty faces at the show.

Kisses, thanks, and love,

Jerry

I’m playing at “The Scene” at The Delancey tonight at Midnight. This is a great night of music that starts at 10pm. I will be performing about 5 songs on acoustic. There are many other great people playing this night so come down and check it out. It goes real late. The Delancey is located at 169 Delancey Street at the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge. Take the F to Delancey St. Thank you to everyone that came to The National Underground last night. What a great time.

Ya baby,

See you tonight,

Jerry

I want to thank everybody for coming out to my show at Piano’s. It was a great success. It’s wonderful that you’re all so supportive of Jerry Cherry and the entire music scene in New York. Yes, that was me speaking in the second person.

Great things will turn out because of this show, as well as they do at all shows. As artist’s, we strive constantly to perform our songs passionately, and deliver “The Meaning” the best we can. I look forward to seeing you all again very soon.

I’ve discovered an amazing club called The Underground in recent months. Sunday nights there are amazing. Monday nights are from another planet. Shayne Rae and Kevin Kinney host a night of music there that is simply unbelievable. A down-home soulful night of performances that captivate me every time. I will be playing there Monday, May 19th sometime during the night. Come out and see what I’m talking about. My great friend Jeremiah Burnbaum it playing there this Monday, May 12th. I’ll be there.

Ok, my Cherries. I’ll keep you informed on up and coming events and adventures.
Until then.

Ta ta,

Jerry

Hello, Cherries...

I hope everyone is doing great. Spring is in the air and so is the
smell of cherries. I want to thank you for coming out to the Don Hill's
show last week. You can now see video of that show at
www.jerrycherry.com. The video is of a new song called "Wrecking Ball."
Its just Me, Xue, and Fra, a trio, some would call it. I hope you enjoy
it.

I'm playing this Monday night, April 21st, at The National
Underground. Every Monday night is Shayni Rae's Truckstop, a night of
song swappin' with Kevin Kinney of the band Drivin n' Cryin. I've been
performing solo there the past few Mondays. I was invited with my band
to play a few songs to open the night at 9PM. Come see me along with
Felipe Torres and Ricardo Rodriguez to start off an amazing night of
music. Then stick around for The Madison Square Gardeners who are an
amazing band. Then the one and only Kevin Kinney performs along with
friends till 2AM. He's great. The vibe there is great on this night.
You really should see it.

The National Underground is located at 159 E Houston, (@Allen). Just
take the F to 2nd Ave. Hope to see you.

Another show to mark on your calendars is Friday, May 9th at Piano's.
It's Songwriters from Hell VI. Sounds like a horror flick or a
Slasher film doesn't it?
I'll keep you posted.
Till then, don't go to sleep or Freddy will get you.

Ta Ta,

Jerry

It will be a full band show with Felipe on drums, Ricardo on bass, Xue and Francesca on classic strings, Dave on trumpet, and my good friend Alvin Walker on the Trombone.

Don Hill’s is located at 511 Greenwich St, (corner of Spring and Greenwich). Take the ACE to Spring St, or the 1 to Canal.

Dear Cherries...

I am pleased to announce to you that I am performing Thursday, March
27th, at 9 PM at Don HIll's. This show is brought to you by the one
and only Queen V. Queen V is campaigning to resuscitate the spirit of
New York City through monthly live music events by rallying people to
recognize, remember and celebrate the lost NYC underground and to give
something back to those in our city who are in need. Proceeds will be
donated to benefit the homeless in NYC. Please join Queen V and her
usual circle of staple NYC notables, musicians and people who love
music. You never know who might show up and jump onstage to "TAKE BACK
NEW YORK!"

Jerry Cherry (full band) will be hitting the stage at 9 PM. There is a
bit of a twist in the band on this night. Jamie Alegre will be playing
drums, Ricardo Rodrigues will be playing bass. Xue and Fra now have
pickups on their instruments so you can actually hear how amazing they
are on cello and violin. So sad Felipe can't make this one, but very
happy to have another great drummer in Jamie. Ricardo will be
performing with us for the first time since the CD release show at The
Bitter End. Very excited to have him play.

There will be an all-star jam session after Queen V's set around
midnight or so. It will be a bunch of rockers playing some of your
favorite hard rock songs, including yours truly, Me. Rumor has it that
Brad Whitford from Aerosmith will be jamming too. Fun.

Don Hill's is located at 511 Greenwich St in Soho NYC. Take A C E to
Spring St, or the 1 to Canal.

See you there, ah ah ah

Jerry

1-14-08

Cherries,

I want to thank everyone who came to my last few shows at Snitch and "The
Scene." We had a blast and I hope you did too. Video and pics from those
shows can now be seen at www.jerrycherry.com. One of the three new videos I
posted features me covering David Bowie on his 60th B-day. Enjoy.

It looks like the episode of the TV show "Matched in Manhattan" on Lifetime
Networks which I'm on will air Fri, February 1st, at 8:30 pm. As we get closer
I'll know for sure. You can see the first few episodes of the show at
http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/shows/matched-manhattan It's very funny.
Check it out.

I've launched a radio campaign that sent my album "Life Is Sweeter..." to
many major radio stations across America. I'll update you with stations in
your town so you can call in and make requests. Thanks for tuning in. I wish you all the best in this upcoming year.

Till we meet again,

Jerry

Hello Cherries,

I'm performing at "The Scene" at The Delancey tonight, Jan 8th, at 10:30. The address
is 168 Delancey St. (at Clinton) NYC. Just take the F train to Delancey and
walk toward the Williamsburgh Bridge. I will be playing an acoustic set with
special guest Xue Yung on Cello. Hope you can come out. It's also David
Bowie's birthday. We need to celebrate. "The Scene" is a really cool place
with a great vibe. It's quaint, candle lit and it even has a fireplace. Come
and hang out. It's a great scene.

I'll meet you there. Ah ah ah.

Jerry

Dear Cherries,

I've received a few emails from friends/artist/bands this New Year
thanking everybody for supporting them throughout the year. They also
mentioned their achievements in '07 and things to look forward to in '08. I
really enjoyed reading all of those emails, so now, without completely
ripping them off, I will attempt to do the same exact thing.

The year started off with me thinking that my album that I started to record
one month earlier was on track for a May release. Wow, that didnt happen. I
just knew I wanted to make a great record. It's not that I wanted to take my
time with it, it's just that the craziest things transpired in the process.
Producing an album was much harder than I thought. The delay of the record
led to my getting out and performing more. I took gigs in the strangest
places, like Spaghetti Western in Tribecca. That show was actually really
fun if you were there to remember. In June I booked my first CD release
show. Because the album wasn't finished, I had to release a 6-song EP. Oh,
let's not forget the ice cream for all who came. As the months rolled by and
"Life Is Sweeter..." seemed like it would never be finished, I continued to
perform. I played at various clubs around NYC like Arlene's Grocery, The
Delancey, The Lions Den, The Knitting Factory, The Bitter End, Rockwood
Music Hall, Club Midway, and Snitch.

As you can see the year was moving along. While playing these shows and
getting out there, I met some new friends and strengthened existing
friendships. All the Late Night at Rockwood shows have been a treat for me.
Lauren Joniks has really helped me with her support by writing articles
about me in Indie Sounds and snapping some great pics. Pete Harris has
promoted and played my music on Harrisradio. Dawn plays my music on Best
Hits Radio Tuesday mornings. Chris McMillen from Engine Room Audio
interviewed me. Performing with and watching great artists like Jamie Rae,
The Ramblers, The Rich Girls, and Dan Torres was always a treat. I was
blessed to have an amazing band, also known as The Plonkers. They are Felipe
Torres on Drums, Jamie Alegre and Ricardo Rodrigues on Bass, David Smith on
Trumpet, Xue Yang Liu on Cello, Francesca Dardini on Violin. Thank you guys
for bringing The Cherry to life. Big thanks to Mike Rogers for making sure
my I made a great album with his amazing ears and skills behind the mixing
board. Huge thanks to Scott Spooner for his Graphic Design skills on the
record, website, flyers, and everything else. Everyone at Engine Room Audio
for a great job helping me finish this record and getting me the hell out of
there.

Some other things that happened along the '07 journey: a full CD release
party at The Bitter End; passing the first round of the Williamsburg
Songwriting Contest; making it into the top 10 list of 2007 by IndieSounds
Mag - a very prestigious list it is; Being filmed for a TV show called
"Matched In Manhattan" on Lifetime Network; and, finally, completing my
debut album "Life Is Sweeter..." which you can purchace on my website and on
iTunes.

All in all, '07 was a productive year for Jerry Cherry. Thanks to all my
friends, fans, and family for their support throughout the year. Together we make it
happen. Now to completely rip off my friends/artists/bands' emails: Here are
some things to look forward to in '08: More promotion, radio play, live
shows. You'll think there are 6 of me. Oh, plus the TV show I'm on called
"Matched in Manhattan" will air Friday, Febuary 1st, at 9:30 on Lifetime.
Here's one more for you: I'm performing at "The Scene" at The Delancey, 168
Delancey St. (at Clinton) this Tuesday, January 8th, at 10:30. It will be an
acoustic set with with me and Xue Yung on Cello. Hope you can come out.
Happy New Year everyone. I hope your year is filled with Cherries and
everything that's Sweeter...

Jerry

Lauren Jonik for the great words. I'm in great company on this list that
includes a Plonker named Dan Torres.

Ho Ho Ho... I'll be singing "Jingle Bell Rock" for the Rock and Roll food
drive. My great friend Brandy Wood invited me to perform the song at Kenny's
Castaway (157 Bleecker St) NYC, Wedensday, December 19th, showtime 8PM. I'll
know the time slots later. There is a great band backing me up as well as
many great performers. Don't forget, there will be a raffle with prizes
supplied by our friends at Anheuser-Busch. To get a ticket, bring a
nonperishable food item for the New York Food Bank. Admission is free, but
to win a prize you gotta bring food and be there when we draw. See the great
lineup and get to know Brandy at http://www.myspace.com/THEREALBRANDYWOOD .

Remember, you can now buy my album "Life Is Sweeter" on my website. If you'd
like to buy any one song, get it on iTunes.

Tune in to two of the finest Internet stations around, Harris Radio and Best
Hits Radio. They're constantly playing my music and other fine stuff. Please

Dear Cherries,

I want to thank you for coming to Club Midway. It was a really fun show. All
three bands put on a great show including Nikki Valentino and Kult Zero. The
crowd was great. There were many new faces and we won them all over. One of
the highlights for me was performing my new song "The Rules." Check out
www.jerrycherry.com in a few days and you can see video of that song from
Club Midway as well as pics and video from my previous show at Rockwood.

There is a new night of music in town and it's called "The Scene." It takes
place every Tuesday night at The Delancey in the L.E.S. I've been invited to
play an acoustic set along with a few other NYC favorites. Rob from The
Compulsions, Brian from The 360, and Queen V are some of the performers.
"The Scene" takes place on the main floor of The Delancey with its cozy
candle-lit atmosphere. There is a fireplace as well as couches and cheap
drinks. Perfect place to hear some great music and hang out on a cold New
York night. The show starts around 9:30 and goes all night with a great DJ
spinning great Rock-&-Roll after the performers. The Delancey is located at
168 Delancey St. (at Clinton). Just take the F to Delancey, and walk toward
the bridge. This is the last show I have until the big Christmas show at
Snitch on December 20th with the full band. See you there...

As always, please listen to Harris Radio and Best Hits Radio. They're
constantly playing my music and other fine stuff. Please click on their
links from my website and request some Jerry Cherry.

Love,

Jerry

Hello, my juicy pitted friends...
I have a last minute show tonight at Rockwood Music Hall. It's Danielle's
birthday and she picked her favorite performers to play tonight. I was not
one of them. Shanna Zell was, though and she was kind enough to give me half
of her set. It's really really late, but that's ok. It's Friday night in New
York City, so it will be great. Rockwood is located at 196 Allen St. NYC.
Check their website www.rockwoodmusichall.com for the list of great
performers tonight. I play at 2:30 AM.

You can see pics and video from my last few shows including a crazy version
of a classic KISS song from Halloween. You can also hear some of the best
artists in NYC including Jerry Cherry on Harris Radio and Best Hits radio.
Please write in and request to hear Jerry Cherry. All this can be found right here at
www.jerrycherry.com

Last but not least, I have a big show at Club Midway next Friday, the 23rd,
at 10 PM. I hope to see all your pretty red faces there.

Till tonight,

Jerry

11-6-07

Hello, Cherries...

Thank you for coming out to Snitch. It was one of the funnest shows we've had yet. I'll have pics and video from this show on my website shortly. There were some new faces and some not so old ones at the show. I want to thank everyone so much for continually coming to the shows and supporting my passion.

Now for something completely different: Tonight is the night for the WLSC, Williamsburg Live Songwriting Contest. 25 people perform one song each and I believe they choose 3 to go to the semifinals. Come out and enjoy a night of great singer/songwriters as they shoot for a $4000 prize. I'm not usually a big fan of musical competitions because I think everyone who's ever written a song wins because it's a way to express oneself, not a way to be better than others. I'm just happy to have been chosen to perform with such great artists. I know a bunch of people playing tonight and I look forward to hearing them. The show is at The Lucky Cat located at 245 Grand Street. Take the L to Bedford, Left on Bedford to Grand Street, Left on Grand, go one and a half blocks down on your left. 'Break a leg' to everyone performing.

I also have really big show at Club Midway on Friday, November 23rd, at 10PM. I'm really looking forward to this one because Midway is a really cool place in the east village with an amazing sound system, so I'm ready to blow the roof off the place. The band's been doing a lot of shows lately and we're getting really tight. We have some surprises for this show. You will not want to miss this extravaganza.

See you tonight,

Jerry

Dear 'my round, plump, stemmed friends'-
I want to thank everyone who came out to my show at Rockwood Music Hall. I
put down the electric that night and played acoustic guitar. The sound was
amazing as usual at Rockwood. The sounds of the cello, violin, and trumpet
really came together nicely there. I know you like to hear me wail out on
the electric but I wanted this show to really accentuate my songs from my
new album. I thought the scaled down version was really important for me to
do at Rockwood since it's known for its amazing songwriters. I especially
want to thank Dan Torres for singing background vocals. It sounded so good,
I could've listened from outside. But have no fear, the Marshall will be on
soon. The are some pictures and videos from The Bitter End show and the
Rockwood show. Scroll dow and check them out.

You can hear Jerry Cherry on Best Hits Radio Tuesday morning, October 23rd,
at 10 AM. Please go to http://www.best-hits-radio.com/ and have a listen.
They're also playing music from "September Skies," my friend Jamie Rae's
album around the same time. How cool is that? You can check Jamie out at
www.jamieraemusic.com.

Great news: I'm Pete's Pick of the Month. What could be Sweeter??? You can
hear me on Harris Radio www.harrisradio.com. Harris Radio broadcasts
worldwide 24/7 on the Internet. Check out the site and tune in. There are
some really kind words written about me there. Thanks, Pete.

Short and sweet. That's all for now. For all of you who received my album at
the last few shows, I hope you're enjoying it and it doesn't go into the
pile of local artists who give you CDs all the time. If it does, your house
will explode. See you soon.

Jerry

Hello, my red round stemmed friends...
I want to thank you for coming out to The Bitter End and making the "Life Is
Sweeter..." CD release party a great success. The band and I had such a
great time. For those of you who watched it at home online, I don't know
what it looked like or sounded like but I hope you enjoyed it. All the bands
that performed were terrific. Lyza Wilson, Jeff Fiorello, Seth Adams, Devine
Sign, and Telleri. Wow, you were all great.

In case you didn't get enough, Jerry Cherry and the Plonkers will be
performing at Rockwood Music Hall on Sunday, October 14th, at midnight - The
Witching Hour. Rockwood is located at 196 Allen Street (Btw E Houston &
Stanton). The Plonkers are: Felipe Torres on Drums, Jamie Alegre on Bass,
David Smith on Trumpet, Xue Yang Liu on Cello, Francesca Dardini on Violin
and maybe Luke Wesley on Piano if he would grace up with his presence. Maybe
even Dan Torres, Plonker #3, who's here for his Rockwood show on the 16th
will do a little singing with me.

One more note about the "Life Is Sweeter..." CD packaging: Everyone at the
show received a free CD, but the CD you received was a basic jewel case with
all the original artwork instead of the final CD (a nicer 3- panel digipac)
which I won't receive until Monday or Tuesday of next week. My apologies
that you didn't receive this beautiful digipac at the release show. If you
like, you can come to one of my future shows and trade in the stand-in for
the real-deal :-) I have a few left over so I'll be giving them away free
at the Rockwood show Sunday night.

Here are the links of the great performers with whom I'll be playing Sunday,
in order of appearance, starting at 6 PM:

Dear Cherries...
Final reminder about the Life Is Sweeter... CD release party. Let's make it a night to remember. First of all, it's a full band show. Jerry Cherry will handle the Plonking, Felipe Torres on Drums, Ricardo Rodriguez on Bass, Dave Smith on Trumpet, Xue on Cello, and Francesca on Violin. Pretty big band. The show is at The Bitter End, located at 147 Bleecker Street, NYC (btw Thompson & LaGuardia). You have to be 18+ to get in, and $8 cover, which includes the CD. If you're not in the city and can't make the show, you can see it live online at www.thebitterend.com . I hit the stage at 8:30. Get there early because there's a wonderful list of people performing before and after me. At 7:30, Lyza Wilson performs (http://www.lyzawilson.com/). Then at 8, Jeff Fiorella (www.myspace.com/jefffiorello) performs. Then after me is Seth Adam, Devine Sign, and Telleri. Its gonna be a great night.

This is also pretty funny: I was playing my guitar at Washington Square Park when I was approached by a nice gentelman named Scott Hartman. He asked if he could video tape me playing a song for a project he's putting together on street performers. Turns out you can see it here: http://a.parsons.edu/~shartman/Podcasts/UrbanWave3.mp4 . Thanks, Scott.

Last but not least, Chris McMillen from Engine Room Audio interviewed me. Click the following link to read it:

Thanks, Chris.

Thats it for now. I'm meet you there, Ah ah ah ah,

Hello, Cherries...
First of all I would like to thank everyone who came to The Knitting Factory
show. I had a great time. I hope you enjoyed it as well. All the bands were
terrific. It was cool to see certain people come out whom I've been trying
forever to get to see me perform. You know who you are. I posted a video
from the show on my sites. It's High-Larious. You must check it out. I also
posted some pics from the show.

In other news, I posted another song from my upcoming album "Life Is
Sweeter..." on my sites. The song is called "Punished." Have a listen. Pick

Hello, my 'stemmed' friends,

I want to thank everyone who came out to The Delancey last week. It was a
fun show. You can see a video of one of the songs on my website. Just go to
the video section and click on 'The Delancey.' There's also a new unmastered song on my website from my upcoming album "Life is Sweeter...." The song is called "Big City Life."
This song was originaly recorded in January of 2006. I rerecorded it for the

Hello, Boys and Girls,

Jerry Cherry is back in action with a live show at The Delancey on Tuesday,
July 3rd, at 9:45 PM. The Delancey is a great rock-n-roll club at the foot
of the Williamsburg bridge at 168 Delancey (btwn Clinton & Attorney) NYC. Take
the F train to Delancey. There will be a BBQ on the roof from 7-10 PM for
only $5. There will be 4 bands playing from 8-12 and then some DJ's rockin'
out the rest of the night. It's a big party, especially since most of the
world will be off from work the next day. This will be a rock-n-roll
explosion.

As far as my album 'Life Is Sweeter...' is concerned, well, it's coming
along nicely. I wish we only took 2 or 3 weeks to make a record like the
White Stripes. It takes me 3 weeks just to change my guitar strings.
Anyway, once it's done you'll know about it and will have many ways to get
it.

I love you all.

See you at the show.

Jerry

6-16-07 Hello Cherries,

Here it is. A newly revamped jerrycherry.com. There's lots of new stuff on here to have fun with. The functionallity is much improved so look around and enjoy. There're also new pics, and video from the last Arlene's Grocery show. All 6 songs from the EP I released on June 6th are on the site to listen to. This includes a song called "The Meaning" which you haven't heard unless you have the EP. It features a special guest background vocalist. Let me know if you can figure out who it is.

Enjoy the site - you're out of sight,

Jerry

Hello Cherries.

I just want to thank everyone who came out for my CD release party last
night. It was an amazing time for me and the band. I hope you had a great
time as well. You helped me launch the CD the right way. Everyone was
freaking out over the CD artwork. I hope when you got it home you popped it
in your players and rocked out to it.

One of the highlights of the show was during the song "Freakshow." Ice cream
was served to everyone in the audience. A nice tasty treat for a warm Spring
rock show don't you think? I hope you enjoyed the ice cream as well as the
show.

The show was video taped and there were some great pics taken too. I will
keep you posted on when the pics and video will be on my site for you to
check out. For now, it's back in the studio to finish the full lengh record.
I figure the full length will be available to purchase by the end of July.

Thanks for coming to the show. Enjoy your CDs. Looking forward to a great
Summer.

Jerry

5-10-07

Hello Cherries,

Here is another unmastered song from my upcoming album on
www.myspace.com/jerrycherryband . The song is called "Lancelot." I hope you
enjoy it. I'm really happy with the way this record is turning out. At my
CD release show I'll be giving out advance copies for your $8 admission
price. Pretty sweet deal.

The CD release show is at Arlene's Grocery located at 95 Stanton in the LES
on Wednesday, June 6th, at 9:30. I have an amazing band performing with me.
It will be Dan Torres on Guitar and Backing Vocals, Ricardo Rodriguez on
bass, and Felipe Torres on drums.

Enjoy the song, see you at the show.

Jerry

4-14-07

Hello Cherries,

Here is a little treat for you. I have two unmastered songs from my debut album up on www.myspace.com/jerrycherryband. The album will be finished on May 9th. More songs will be posted after that. I am happy to say that after five long, cold monthes working on it, I am finally finished. The album will be released at the begining of June and there will be a show on June 6th. Have a little taste. I hope you like.

Jerry

3-23-07

Dear Cherries,

I’m very excited to announce that My debut album will be released in early May. Please check out my website, and www.myspace.com/jerrycherryband in early April for a preview of some on the songs from the album. Also, get ready for a huge CD release show at the end of May. Thank you very much for checking out the site.

Jerry

1-30-07

Hello Cherries,

I just wanted to let you know that my debut album is coming along nicely and
is on schedule for May release. It sounds amazing and I'm very proud of
it. I've put a lot of hard work into all the songs so I hope you all really
enjoy this album when it comes out.

I have a Solo show this Saturday night, February 3rd, at Spaghetti Western.
It's located at 59 Reade Street in TriBeCa, in between Broadway and Church
Street. Showtime is 10 PM. I don't know much about this place other than they've
been having music there for the past month. They want to have a cool music
vibe that's good for musicians to perform without the some plonker manager
making it hard for them. That sounds good to me.

See you there,

Jerry

11-16-06

Hello, Cherries... The London tour was amazing. Night after night we roamed
the streets of London, performing at various venues, kabob restaurants, and
wherever else we could play. One of the highlights of the tour was being
asked to perform at "The Original Songwriters" showcase at The Orange Club,
London's premier singer/songwriter showcase venue. Thanks to Pam and Kristen
for the invite. A professional DVD of my performance was made there. Look
for that on the website soon. The response from the people in London was
amazing. Londoners have a very deep appreciation for music. I felt very
welcomed. All of the shows were video taped and I've posted a few clips in
the video section of my website for your viewing pleasure. The videos are of
three new songs, so hear them here first. I also posted some new pics from
the tour, plus really cool pics from a Dan Torres show back in June. Check
out the Press section for some new stuff, for example, a pic of a funny
surprise moment that occurred when I noticed an advertisement for one of my
London shows as I was glancing through a magazine.

I start recording my first full length album on November 30th. It's being
recorded at The Engine Room Studios in China Town. The record will be a good
mix of heavy mellow music. Wow! Did I just coin a new phrase? I would love
for the album to be done by the end of the year but you know how that goes.
January sounds more realistic.

Ok...(read this in your best Cockney accent): Go down to the bottom, make a
right, go to the top. Get your meat, cook it up. I don't know.
I guess what I'm saying is, don't be a Plonker.

Jerry


10-6-06

Hello, Cherries.

Some really cool news going on in the world of Jerry Cherry. I will be
touring London starting Sunday, October 8th. Please check out my website for
the dates. There are also some new videos from this past Lit show, and some
new pictures from the past few shows that I've done including Lit, and a few
Dan Torres shows. Please scroll down to see.

Stuff to look forward to: In London, some of the shows will be recorded so
I'll be able to post some new songs performed live for you all to hear. All
the shows will be video taped so you'll feel like you were there with Jerry
Cherry. All this stuff will be on my website when I return at the end of
October.

On another note, in November I start recording my first full length album.
It's taken my whole lifetime up to this point to write. I really feel I
finally have all the songs I need to make a great first record. Look for
that by Christmas.

Well, as they say in the mother country...

"Cherrio,"

Jerry

 

8-21-06

Hello, Cherries...
I have some very exciting events coming up. I have a big show at Lit on
Tuesday, September 5th at 9:30 PM. The cool thing about this night at Lit
besides Jerry Cherry's music(some old, mostly new) is that there will be
FREE BEER from 9:30 to 10:30. You can drink all the way through the show. We
will sound great by the end of the show, "I guarantee it." Lit is located
right smack in the middle of the East Village at 93 2nd Ave (Btwn 5th and
6th St.). Julia from the Angelic Bombs/Dan Torres Band is on drums, and
Ricardo from the Dan Torres band is on Bass. I'm so excited I'm oozing with
fruit flavor.

Another cool thing is that I will be hosting an open mic night at The Three
of Cups on Sunday 8-27. This is a one- shot deal. My friend Drew who runs it
every Sunday will be in California and asked me to fill in. For those of you
who don't know this, I hosted an open mic at The Satalite Bar for almost a
year. I hope to see all of the great players and friends that came during
that time. The show will run from 10 PM to 4 AM. First come, first play, and
then play again. Fun, Fun, Fun for the whole family.

And another cool thing is that I have some new shows with Dan Torres. You
might not know this but when I play with Dan Torres I go by the name Jerry
James. It's just part of my identify crisis. We have a show at the Pussycat
Lounge located at 96 Greenwich (@ Rector) NYC on Tuesday, September 22nd, at
9 PM. Then we have a CD release party at Crash Mansion on September 27th.
That will be a blast.

Jerry

5-2-06

Why, Hello Cherries.
Lots of cool stuff to tell ya about. First, let's start out by announcing
the first Jerry Cherry show with a full band in New York City, ever. Yes,
I'm very excited about it. On drums, the incredible Tom Kozumplik, and on bass, the
astonishing Mr. Ricardo Rodriguez. The band is very hot. The show is at
Rockwood Music Hall on Monday, May 15th at 9:30 PM. The address is 196 Allen
St. New York City, Between E. Houston and Stanton. Rockwood Music Hall is a
very small, intimate venue. 40 people and the place is packed. I also want
to thank everybody for their positive feedback on my last recordings of "Big
City Life," and "Worst Looking Man." I will be performing some new songs at
the show that will be recorded very soon. Hear them first.

On another note, I'm playing guitar with an incredible singer named John
Anthony with a full band. John's music is very versatile. His voice is like
Freddie Mercury... no kidding. Check out his website:
www.johnanthonymusic.com The show is at Kenny's Castaway on Thursday, May
4th at 7 PM in the heart of Greenwich Village. The address is 157 Bleeker
Street, NYC

Last but not least, I'm really looking forward to this show: I'm playing
with the amazing Dan Torres at Rockwood Music Hall on Saturday, June 3rd, at
10:30 PM. Dan never ceases to amaze me. Hear for yourself.
www.myspace.com/dantorres This is the first show with Dan in a while. There
will be many great bands there that night. Get there early.

As you can see I've been a busy boy. See you at the shows...

Jerry

 

2-15-06

Dear Cherries,

This message is brought to you by the new & improved, updated jerrycherry.com. You'll love it. You'll just eat it up. What makes jerrycherry.com better you ask? There are new photos taken by my friend -Mar-, some new songs recorded right here in New York City, and whew, a brand new scent. And if you act now, I'll even throw in this free link to get to www.myspace.com/jerrycherryband. You get not one, but two websites for the price of one. Act now while supplies last. No purchase necessary. Details inside.

Jerry

1-7-06

Hello Cherries. I just finished recording two songs at the Amazing Engine Room Studios. Please go to www.myspace.com/jerrycherryband for a listen. The new songs and pictures from a photo shoot that I did with -Mar- from South Florida will be added to a completely revamped http://www.jerrycherry.com/ coming next week. Enjoy the songs.

I'm also playing tonight with Dan Torres. The show is at Love Sexy's Rock & Roll Pub @ Blaggards located at 8 West 38th St. NYC The show is Saturday, January 7th 9:30 pm. The show is a Buzz Band Search. Dans music is a few notches different from mine but the combination is extraordinary. Dans in the studio now recording an album. Look for that real soon. You can hear some of his stuff at www.myspace.com/dantorres

See you at the show,

Jerry

11-22-05

Don't be shocked, but when I play guitar with Dan Torres, the amazing
singer/songwriter, I go by Jerry James, which was my stage name when I
played guitar with the Nocturnals. It was a similar sound and a similar role
for me, and it seems fitting.

You have to come check out Dan's show - the songs are really intense
(similar to Jeff Buckley and the band 'Ours,' I'd say). The show is Tuesday
night at 10:30 PM at Rockwood Music Hall. 196 Allen St. (Btwn East Housten
and Stanton), New York City, NY

This is a full band show, amazing musicians all. I've been spending a lot of
time working on these songs, and I'm very excited about this show. I'd love
for you to come check us out.

Come early, there are two great female singers performing before us. Heather Christian goes on at 8:30 and Paula Valstein goes on at 9:30. Doors are at 8 pm. No cover.

yours,
Jerry James (Cherry)

10-18-05

Dear Cherries,

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. There has been some cool stuff going
on in Cherry Land. First of all, I've started on my new recording. I
couldn't find a drummer to play on my record to save my life, so I broke out
the drum machine to do it myself. Then, as soon as I break out the machine,
I find an incredible drummer. Isn't that crazy? See how that happens? His
name is Riley Sumala. You can also hear him "Bust His
Cherry" on Tuesday nights because he is also a singer/guitarist.
10-18-05

So you'll finally be able to hear my new songs. We rehearsed the other day
and Riley makes the songs sound better than I could've imagined. I'm very
excited about that. Another really cool development is that I met an
incredible singer named Dan Torres at my "Bust Your Cherry" night. I wound
up learning a few of Dan's songs and performed them last Tuesday night at my
open mic. It was so much fun that Dan asked me to perform a few more songs
with him this Wednesday night at The Sidewalk Cafe. The show is Wednesday,
October 19th @ 9:30 PM. Actually more like 10, but be there early. The
address is 94 Avenue A @ 6th St. Check out some of his music at
www.myspace.com/dantorres.

As far as the past B.Y.C. Award winners who did not yet receive their Jerry
Cherry shirts, I will be bringing them this Tuesday night. OK, the moment
you've all been waiting for... The winner of the B.Y.C. Award two weeks ago
is Julie Bellamy. Julie was amazing. She popped in a cd of her music without
the vocals and jumped up on the Cherry Picker and with her hip-hop style she
sang her sweet little butt off. Last week's B.Y.C. Award goes to Ali
Lefevre. Ali's voice is so beautiful you melt with every word she sings. She
came all the way from Louisiana to Bust Her Cherry. You can hear Ali at
www.myspace.com/alilefevre. Congrats, Julie and Ali, wear your J.C. shirts
proudly.

Well, there you have it. I hope to see you at one or both of the shows
coming up this week. Its getting cold in the city so come on in and "Bust
Your Cherry," baby.

See ya at the show,

Jerry

9-6-05

Hello, Cherries.
Thank you for all of your responses in regards to voting on which of my new
songs I should record. The songs you chose were great choices and they will
be the ones I record. Thanks for your help. September 12th marks my one year
anniversary living here in New York City and what a year it has been! The
best year of my life. They say it takes two years here before it all comes
together. I'm looking forward to the next one. I came here with a purpose,
to write great songs, put an amazing band together, and "Bust My Cherry"
harder than anybody else. I want to thank everyone who's inspired me, helped
me, and believed.

Now, enough of the cheeziness and let's get down to business... The "B.Y.C."
award goes to Chuck L. Reina. Chuck used to come out often when I first
started the Bust Your Cherry night, but he hasn't been back for months. I
think he was in Austria. Anyway, last week he just knocked my socks off.
Chuck, you rock, babe. Wear your Jerry Cherry shirt proudly.

Whether you've lived in New York all your life, for one year like me, or are
here for only three days, "Bust Your Cherry" while you're here. It only
takes a couple of minutes and you'll feel so much better. I look forward to
seeing you at The Satelite Bar, located at 505 E. 6th St. Btwn (Aves A & B).
Show time is from 8:30 PM till 4 AM.

See you there... Ah ah ah

Hello, Cherries.
Another Tuesday is upon us. Time for "Bust Your Cherry" open mic night.
Tonight is going to be a very special open mic night. Why? I don't know - I
just feel it. I guess I'm just hoping it will be. When you're in the Cherry
Busting business, it's very inconsistent. Sometimes you Bust Your Cherry,
sometimes you just oooozzze a little bit. Tonight I'm going all out. All
cherries ahead.

I'm really excited. I found a drummer who is going to record my new song
with me. All the new Jerry Cherry songs that you've come to know and love
will be recorded for your listening pleasure. I'm actually having a hard
time choosing the songs I want to record. That is why I'm asking you. I want
to record 4 songs. Below is a list of the possible choices. Your vote
matters. I'll add up the votes and record the 4 that get the most votes.
Here is the list:

"I'm Not the Worst Looking Man You've Ever Seen,"

"Belly of the Beast,"

"Punished,"

"One More Cry,"

"Take Your Clothes Off,"

"Bartender,"

"Life in the Big City,"

"Bust Your Cherry Open Mic Night."

Email me your decisions. I know the choices are tough; that's why I need
your help. The songs will all eventually be recorded, but for financial
reasons only 4 will be selected. Thank you.

The "Bust Your Cherry Award" goes to Sandra Peterson. Sandra hasn't been
Busting her Cherry lately but she finally showed up last week and tore up
the stage. It was great to see Sandra again. I ran out of the Jerry Cherry
soda bottle shirts so the winners will be receiving the Jerry Cherry Suit
shirts. Congrats, Sandra. Wear your shirt proudly. Lakis, you can receive a
small suit shirt for winning two weeks ago. See, waiting sometimes is
better.

Well, I hope to see everybody tonight at the Satelite Bar located at 505
East 6th St. (Btwn Aves A & B). The show starts at 9PM and ends at 4 AM.

See you there, Ah ah ah

Hi, Cherries. It's time for another night of "Bust Your Cherry" open mic
night. Are you ready, baby? Yah baby, yah. I have a new song I will be
performing tonight. It's called "Life in the Big City." I wrote it last
Wednesday and decided to perform it Wednesday night at the Satelite bar. I
was outside of the club practicing my new song, struggling with the odd time
signature. The guys in the band The W.M.D'S wanted to hear the song outside
because they had to leave. They put me on the spot to play it outside for
them. I was a bit reluctant to play it since I was struggling with it. I
played it anyway and they loved it and started singing it with me. Then it
was my turn to perform inside. I set up a mic especially for them and they
sang the chorus with me. It was awesome. I'm going to record the song with
them. See how it works. That's "Life in the Big City."

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for: the "Bust Your Cherry" award
winner... The award goes to Jeff Shine. Jeff hosts the open mic at the
Satelite Bar every Wednesday night. He "Busts his Cherry" every Tuesday but
last Tuesday he Busted it hard enough to win this prestigious award.
Congrats, Jeff. Wear your Jerry Cherry shirt proudly.

Come to the Satelite Bar, where dreams really do come true. Just ask Jeff if
dreams come true. Jeff, do dreams come true? Yes, dreams do come true. The
Satelite Bar is located at 505 E. 6th St. (Btwn Aves A & B). The show starts
at 8:30 and ends at 4 AM.

See you there, Ah ah ah

Hello, Cherries. Well, another "Bust Your Cherry" open mic night approaches.
I'm very excited to perform tonight and to hear many great artists. I love
cherries. I love the taste of them. The feel of them. The shmell of them. I
love all the little cherries so much.

Last week's "Bust Your Cherry" award goes to Lakis. What a great performance
he put on. Lakis is a truly talented performer and a natural musician. His
songs are beautiful and his performance is magical. He is electrifying every
time he takes the stage. Congrats, Lakis. Wear your Jerry Cherry shirt
proudly.

All my cherries from across the land come to New York whenever they can.
They "Bust Their Cherries" all through the night, and rock my world till the
morning light. Even if you can't be there, there'll be no sadness or
despair. You'll always be a cherry, baby, yah baby yah.

The show is at The Satelite Bar located at 505 East 6th St. (Btwn aves A &
B). Show time is from 8:30 PM till 4 AM.

See you there

Hello, Cherries. I'm just sitting here at Zanny's enjoying a beautiful day
on the upper west side in New York City. The coffee is good, but wait until
you taste what Jerry Cherry serves up for you. Life is magical when "Bust
Your Cherry Open Mic Night" approaches. Yah baby, yah. One thing incredible
to me is the fact that most of the people in New York don't live here. Most
are wonderful people who live in other countries. They come here for a short
period of time. They grace us with their presence. They wow us with their
charm. They dance a dance for us that is simply spectacular. They dazzle us
with their beauty. Isto e vida.

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for... The "Bust Your Cherry" award
winner. I have to say that Aria busted her cherry enough to win this
prestigious award. She was so hot busting her cherries to the audience. You
couldn't help but respond to her overflowing of cherry busting. You can
check her out at her band's website http://www.apocalypstik.com/. Congrats,
Aria. Wear your Jerry Cherry shirt proudly.

Express yourself musically, lyrically, physically, any way you want to. Just
be comfortable and Bust Your Cherry, baby. La la la la la la la la. la la la
la. la la. Come to the Satelite bar tonight. It's located at 505 east 6th
street (btw A & B) NYC. The show is from 8:30 till 4 AM. Come early, come
late, just don't hesitate. The more you fidget, the more you wait. The more
likely you'll be to stay home and masturbate.

See you there

Jerry

Hello Cherries. Oh wow - I'm very excited about Busting My Cherry tonight.
As I'm writing this email I'm listening to the greatest singer of all time,
Ella Fitzgerald. I loooveee her. I'd also love all of you to come "Bust Your
Cherries" tonight. For the most part, the performers are singer/songwriter
and random singers and guitarists busting out on stage to perform songs from
their favorite artists. We've also had spoken word, poets, saxophonists,
rappers, and people who've lived in New York City for just way too long.
Anything goes and is always welcome as long as you "Bust Your Cherry," baby.

Last week's "Bust Your Cherry" award winner was a tough one to pick. It was
very close, but the winner is Phil Common. Phil rocks every Tuesday, but
last Tuesday it all came together for him and I think he was just terrific.
Congrats, Phil. Wear your Jerry Cherry shirt proudly. Who will be next to
sport the famous shirt?

I performed Monday night at The Sidewalk Cafe on 6th Street and A. I've
enjoyed some great performers there - they showcase the best talent in New
York. Everyone I've seen perform there was just amazing. It was sure nice
that I got the chance to spread a little Cherry lovin' about the place.
Sometimes it gets real mellow and quiet in there. That's good because the
audience really respects the dynamics of each performer. Before I performed,
there was an artist who was real, real soft. Then I jumped up on stage, and
let's just say that when I performed "Take Your Clothes Off," with its sexy
lyrics and burning guitar riffs the audience was just stunned. I "Bust My
Cherry" where ever I go. It's time for you to do the same. I hope to see you
tonight. The show is at The Satelite Bar. It's located at 505 E. 6th Street,
NYC (btwn Aves A & B). Da East Village.

See you there, Ah ah ah,

Hello, Cherries...
Well, here we are again: Another hot day in the big apple, another hot
Tuesday night. Are you ready for "Bust Your Cherry Open Mic Night?" Ya baby,
ya. My mom is here from Florida and she's ready to "Bust Her Cherry." Mommy
Cherry. This open mic night is not like any other open mic in New York City.
Everybody gets their turn to play. Especially if your mom comes in from
Florida and wants to hear you.

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for. Last week's "Bust Your Cherry"
award winner. It was a really hard decision. There were so many great
performers, but I have to give the award to Andy Stack. He was just amazing.
Whenever he comes in and plays, everyone is just mesmerized. You can hear
his music on his website www.andystack.net. Congrats, Andy. Wear your Jerry
Cherry shirt proudly. Debbie Dalton, Ivan, Jack Benjamin, Joshua Gabriel,
Jeff, and Phil all rocked hard. The baddest Mofos in NYC come to "Bust Their
Cherry" every Tuesday.

Did anyone see Rockstar INXS last night? I actually auditioned for that
show back in January at CBGB's. I auditioned in front of INXS and got a
chance to meet them. They're really cool guys. I did pretty good. I got two
call-backs and made it to the final 200 people. I was pretty excited about
getting to the 50 final people to go to California. But that never happened.
Oh well. It was hard to watch that show knowing that I was so close. But I
have to say, Jerry Cherry is too sexy for that show.

I hope to see everybody tonight. The Satelite Bar is located at 505 E. 6th
St. (Between Aves. A & B) The show starts at 8:30 PM and ends at 4 AM. Let's
have our own Rockstar show without the competition and elimination. Just be
a rockstar. See you there. Ah ah ah.

Ciao, Cherries

Howdy, Cherries! Happy 4th of July. I hope you had a great view of the
fireworks and then made some of your own fireworks later... Have you been
watching any of the Live 8 show? What a lineup! The London stage, what can I
say? I almost died when I saw Coldplay back up Richard Ashcroft performing
Bittersweet Symphony. Pink Floyd reunited: Wow. A great weekend of music.
The great thing is that it's not over. Here in New York we have our own Live
8 stage: "Bust Your Cherry Open Mic Night." Let's keep the beautiful music
going.

Last week's "Bust Your Cherry" award goes to Ivan. Wow, this guy is solid.
His voice is amazing. He's not average by any means. When he performs, you
listen. Ivan and I performed a version of Jeff Buckley's "Lilac Wine." It
was quite an experience. Thanks, Ivan. Wear your Jerry Cherry shirt proudly.
Ivan was great, but there were many great performers last week. It was
difficult picking a winner. Melissa was awesome as well. She and her
girlfriends helped me perform my song "Take Your Clothes Off." You really
can't go wrong with a song like that.

I look forward to seeing everybody tonight Busting their Cherries. The
Satelite Bar is located at 505 East 6th Street. (Between Aves A & B.) It
starts at around 9 PM and ends at 4 AM. Keep the music live.

Hello, my Cherries. Today is a weird day. I'm slowly trying to get over the
fact that my guitar gig bag was stolen last night. Thank God "My Black
Guitar" wasn't in it. I was performing upstairs at The Sidewalk Cafe when my
bag was stolen from the downstairs area. Besides some material things that
can easily be replaced, there were some very important lyrics I had written
all through spring that can never be replaced. They weren't songs yet and
now they will never be. At least not in that light. I hope that whoever has
the bag and finds the lyrics doesn't wipe his stinkin' ass with them.

Last week's "Bust Your Cherry" award goes out to Skrit Steak & those English
Mufkins. They were so great. And weird... very weird. I hope they come back
tonight and play some more and receive their prizes. Wear those Jerry Cherry
shirts proudly.

The show at Galapagos was awesome. There is an amazing vibe at this venue. I
did lose my pants at the show. My famous pants with one leg black and one
leg white was in a bag that I left on the subway train on the way home. I
was talking to a girl and was so caught up in the conversation that I did
what I said to myself I would do and left the bag on the train. It has been
a time of losing things. My motto is "lose 1 thing and gain 10." It was
really cool to play in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The music scene there is
cool. Thanks to Kevin from Mind Trip Productions for giving me the gig.

Come "Bust Your Cherry" tonight at the Satelite Bar. The address is 505 East
6th Street. (Between Aves A & B). The show starts at 9 PM and ends at 4 AM.
I can't wait to see everyone tonight. Ya baby. Don't steal anything from me. Please.

See you there. Ah ah ah ah

Hello, Cherries. Last week's "Bust Your Cherry" open mic night was the best
one yet. The night started off with me being a little late as usual and then
a short performance by yours truly. Then Nothing Rhymes With Orange took the
stage and blew all of our minds. I really love those guys. They set the
