$ 25.00 - $100.00 / Age 21 And UpJerry Joseph is a celebrated local hero, inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame who plays well over 150 shows a year in usual & very unusual places around the globe, often in war zones and refugee camps too. With this in mind, he has a non-profit called Nomad Music Foundation that acts as a sort of School of Rock for displaced teenagers in areas of conflict. His talent, drive, work ethic, amazing body of work, and flat out badass-ness make him one of the most exciting artists around today!
Jerry's Nomad Music Foundation has taken guitars and taught lessons in camps in Kabul, Afghanistan, and Sulaymaniyah and Dahuk, both in Kurdish Iraq. These life-changing missions have been written up in Rolling Stone, Relix, and PBS News Hour.
Oh yeah, and hes really fucking great.
A triple threat who works at the highest levels as a songwriter, singer, and player. Jason Isbell, who kinda personifies such, recently tweeted about triple threats and listed Jerry Joseph (along with Richard Thompson and St. Vincent) among the greatest examples of that phenomenon.
Jerry Joseph has been playing shows and making records since the 80s, first in a band called Little Women. By the 90s Jerry was struggling with addiction while also creating the beginnings of a vast body of work as a solo artist and burning up the road backed by a mighty band called The Jackmormons. They built a considerable following in the great Northwest. Many of Jerry's songs were recorded by the band Widespread Panic, and there are many people who know of Jerry through that connection.
Later, after getting clean, Jerry toured and made some albums as part of Stockholm Syndrome, a sort of supergroup he formed with Panic bassist David Schools, who himself is an incredible musician and here we have Jerry Joseph & The Jackmormons at the JLR for 2 nights and all in all over a period of 5 nights for your enjoyment.
