Little Jerry, now age 8, has played music, specifically Jimmy Martin and Stanley Brothers tunes, for half of his life. His first time playing the upright bass was at a picking party three years earlier and has since progressed to multiple instruments.
“My favorite part of playing bluegrass is singing and playing the guitar. I love to jam and play festivals. I like to play with my family. My dad and my uncle play too,” said Little Jerry.
Jerry grew into his music and the guitar, specifically his dad’s Blueridge guitar and his grandfather’s Martin, and hopes one day to receive an endorsement from one of these brands.
In the meantime, Little Jerry enjoys being a member of Tomorrow’s Bluegrass Stars and participated in this year’s virtual bluegrass festival, playing 14 songs for those tuning in.
