| Jerry Joseph |
Jerry Joseph grew
up in the area around San Diego, California, and started playing guitar
professionally at age 15 while living in New Zealand. He later relocated to
Arcata, California, where he formed the rock/reggae band Little Women in 1982. After the breakup of Little Women in 1993, Joseph
began recording albums under his own name. In 1996, Joseph relocated to Utah
and formed the band Jerry Joseph &
the Jackmormons. Joseph also began an intermittent side project called the Stockholm Syndrome in 2003. Joseph
released By the Time Your Rocket Gets to
Mars on April 15, 2016.
While Joseph has recorded acoustic albums in the past, his
present band is playing all-out rockers. Performing at the Mercury Lounge tonight, Joseph's smoky vocals flavored the
emotional core of the songwriter, igniting his thoughtful lyrics with passion.
Bald-headed and white-bearded, Joseph's integrity blossomed from the wisdom
culled from his maturity. His bluesy lead guitar work was equally enflamed with
a richness that came from the soul. Jerry Joseph & the Jackmormons may be a
treasure to be discovered by fans of classic rock.
