ARTIST HISTORY
After high school Gerry moved to Boston to study jazz at the Berklee College of Music and then classical at the New England Conservatory, from which he graduated as a guitar performance major. While attending school he worked throughout New England as a freelance musician in just about every conceivable type of venue including wedding bands, function bands, in chamber music groups and as a soloist. During this time he began to develop his own unique style of arranging and performing jazz and popular songs on the classical guitar. In the early 1980's Gerry took an extended hiatus from performing in order to focus his attention on working as a piano technician and raising a family. In the late 1990's he began performing again and since that time has appeared at countless functions and many solo recitals. His time is now divided between tuning/repairing pianos, teaching guitar and performing.
