Jerry Cherry is a product of many factors. Take songs rooted in the blues, in folk, rockabilly, and old country but filter them through a cello and violin, a trumpet and trombone. Add other influences such as the immeasurable draw of New York City and the trials and wantings of love. Take an appeal broad enough to burn up both Top 40 charts and indie Internet radio stations. This is Jerry Cherry.

Born in Brooklyn, Jerry moved with his family to Fort Lauderdale at the age of six. He picked up the guitar before he was a teenager and started to gig in high school. After honing his talents as both a guitar player and as a songwriter for several years, Jerry moved back to New York in 2004.

Jerry's experiences in New York City are the basis of his debut album, Life Is Sweeter..., a song-cycle that condenses a year's worth of love and living in the city into a catchy and powerful 11 song album. "I lived it" Jerry says about his album and time in New York, which even included an appearance on the reality TV Show, "Matched In Manhattan."  Life Is Sweeter... was produced by Jerry himself, and was mixed by multi-platinum engineer Mike Rogers (Dee-Lite, John Lennon, Sinead O'Connor, They Might Be Giants, Chubby Checker). Jerry Cherry has spent much of the last year criss-crossing the country as Chubby Checker's lead guitarist, including live performances on NBC's Today Show and CBS's Early Show.
