Hello Cherries,

There has been some cool stuff happening in the Cherry camp lately. First of all, I recently joined the band No Excuses. They're an ass-kicking, hard rock 90's tribute band from Long Island. The band’s set list is terrific. They’re a great group of guys and I'm happy to be part of it. Ironically I just played my first show with them last week at a club called JC's in Manorville. It was great. Check out the band’s website at www.noexcusesli.com for upcoming shows. Get the latest news and impromptu performances, and never miss anything by connecting with me on Facebook.

CHECK THIS OUT: "Jerry Cherry Guitar Player Promo" video! Yes, just me playing guitar, weaving in and out of a few different styles that I like to play. Pass it around to your friends and leave comments. I'd love to hear what you think. Click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcygwruJhhs or scrol down to my video section.

MORE: "Interview with a Cherry" video… I just did a video interview with Riffslinger.com. I talk about the balance making Jerry Cherry music while supporting my art by playing other music, and more. It just so happens that I'm also the artist of the month. It really is a great website focusing on independent music and networking in the NYC area. Check out my profile: http://www.riffslinger.com/ The Interview will be posted in a few days.

Rubix Kube, the best 80's tribute band on the planet… I am their substitute guitarist and have played a handful of shows with them. We just played a private party that featured the singer Hugo, from the Journey tribute band Voyage. Check him out when you can. I've also posted a video on YouTube from a show I played with the Kube in July. It's my guitar solo and I play Van Halen's Eruption. See this thunderous video here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQyxLSxlhmw or scroll down to my video section.

Last but certainly not least, I just became an endorsee of a very interesting new product called the "Jam Kat" from a company called pick-smith. Its basically a ring on your pointer finger that holds the pick and lets it flip up and out of the way so that you to pick with your fingers, then you can easily grab the pick again. It's a great invention. See me demo this flipping pick here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxPfnfJCvlc

Happy Holidays, from me to all of you. I'll be closing out the old year and ringing in the new year in Grand Junction, CO with Sir Checker. May all your dreams come true.

Cherrio,

Jerry
