| 6-8-10 | Hello Cherries,
It’s summer, and everything is hot and funky. But just wait: it’s
about to get even funkier. First of all, if you missed the last Jerry
Cherry and the Mayhem show at Rockwood Music Hall, now you’re in
luck. There's a video posted on YouTube of my new song, “Shadow
Devil Sister,” from that very special night. Here's the link. Enjoy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2gk8uApZ9k On July 5th, Rockwood Music Hall isn’t going to know what hit them when Jerry Cherry and the Mayhem merge their power rock sound with the funk, neo-soul style sounds of the Philly-based band Funk Church. Fronted by none other that Chubby Checker’s son Shan Egan, and featuring keyboardist John Bigham (Chubby Checker band), Funk Church will help us turn the stage at Rockwood Music Hall into something reminiscent of Soul Train. Cherries, I introduce to you, Jerry Cherry and the Funk Church. Check out Funk Church at www.myspace.com/funkchurch. Put on your dancing shoes, because it’s going to be a hot one. On May 28th, I performed three songs on the Time Warner cable TV show “New York Rocks.” Funk Church's Shan Egan, who is promoting his new record, performed as well. The show is scheduled to air sometime in June. Stay tuned. After the filming, there was a late night jam at The National Underground in downtown NYC. Shan and I sat in with the band Aki is the Glue and jammed a cool Stones tune. You can check out the performance on Youtube. Here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu51PkzWfDc While you’re there, check out some of the behind-the-scenes footage from the New York Rocks taping. If you’re not my friend on Facebook already, please become one; you'll be able to keep up with any impromptu performances -- and you'll be able to keep a better eye on me! I just posted some really awesome pictures that fans, friends and I took across the country over the last six months. Check them out on my Facebook and Myspace pages. Also, always check out my tour dates. You’ll be surprised how close we are to you. That’s all for now, Cherries. See you soon.

| 4-9-10 | Dear Cherries, I hope you’re all feeling good. I have a few shows coming up. Tonight, Fri the 9th, FREE upstairs at The National Underground, my Kick Ass Rock cover band ‘The Mayhem’ plays from 1-3am, immediately following Chris Barron of the Spin Doctors. If you love to rock, you’ll love this band. We play different stuff. Fun stuff. Since 'The Mayhem' chemistry has been so awesome, we’ve decided to morph some originals from the other band mates with new music from myself that has been Mayhemed. These new tunes are killer and we’re very excited to put them out there. We’ll be performing our first show at Rockwood Music Hall on April 21st, midnight. Joining me, on guitar is Adam Paul Leach, Drew Mortali (James Maddock) on bass, and Aaron Brooks (Moby) on Drums. It's loud, fun, and twin leads. Whew. One of my favorite singer / keyboardist’s Misty Boyse is also playing on this night. I’m very happy about that. This show is also free with a one drink min. I want to see you. I’m also playing a free and very low key solo gig at The National Underground on Sunday, April 11th, at 8pm. (Don’t tell anybody, it’s a secret). Come out. Great news! I’ve signed a non-exclusive publishing deal. With any luck and design, you will hear some Jerry Cherry classics turning up when you least expect them. Party on. I have a ton of shows coming up. Check the list below and come out where you are. Please add me on Facebook, and Twitter, and stay connected. See you at the shows. Ah ah ah Jerry |
| 4-1-10 | 'The Mayhem'. The beginning of a superband. The Jerry Cherry band is becoming more than just me and hired guns. I actually found some guys that are incredible musicians that are into collaborating. The Mayhem, is a rock and roll cover band with a great chemistry. Were taking that same magic and putting in into an original band. Half of this show will be Jerry Cherry songs, and the other half will be tunes put together by The Mayhem. Joining me, on guitar is Adam Paul Leach, Drew Mortali on bass, and Aaron Brooks on Drums. Come see this new superband. It's loud, fun, and twin leads. Whew.

| 8-28-09 | Jerry Cherry Rocks the Teens Tonight Hello Cherries, I hope that everyone is having a beautiful summer. Mine has been very sweet. I have a really cool show tonight at the ATC (Amity Teen Center). This place is just insane. We performed there once already back in January and it was one of the most fun shows ever. These kids really know how to rock. Besides bands, the ATC has practically every game known to man. It’s an all ages show so put on your game faces and boogie on down. The ATC is in Woodbridge, CT. It’s only an hour and a half from NYC, and well worth the trip. These kids are the future of America and I like where were going. In Theatre news, my music is being used for the “Rock” Incidental score for Adam Roebuck’s Off-Broadway production of Spring’s Awakening. It runs through Sunday, August 30th. See www.springstix.com for tix and more info. The Theater’s not dead. I have a few acoustic shows around the country that I’m very proud to be apart of. I’m performing at writer Kristin Harmel's party for the release of her fifth novel, “Italian for Beginners,” very cool. I’m also opening up for guitarist Roger Filgate who is a monster guitarist and is a treat for me to watch. I have some exciting Chubby Checker shows that are going to kick but. Lastly, for the first time ever, I’ll be playing guitar for singer- songwriter Jamie Rae for a few shows. Please come out. We’d love to squeeze you. Beijos,
Jerry |
