About The Jerrys
The Jerrys play British-influenced guitar pop written by Jerry Schwartz, who also plays, sings, and produces their music. In addition to playing multiple instruments, Schwartz gets by with a little help from his musical friends when recording and performing live, with Robert Porché and Jim Losby contributing most to the band's sound. Since releasing their debut album in 2001, The Jerrys have released fresh music on a regular basis.
From lighthearted CD/song titles (Jerryrigged, "I Even Love You More Than Elizabeth Hurley," The Wind Cries Jerrys) to trebly instrumentals ("Telepop," "Just Looking," "Love Thang") to songs with pop culture references in the lyrics (Ulysses, Gene Krupa, Ann Taylor), The Jerrys keep things interesting. While Schwartz obviously prefers power pop, he also writes smoother songs that sound more Mersey-like. Listeners have compared The Jerrys to Boyce and Hart, The Who, Matthew Sweet, and The Shoes.
After releasing two singles ("Alicia" and "Love Me Now and Leave Me Never") and a new album (Ready or Not) last year, The Jerrys are back in 2023 with a new single. "Think for Myself" is pure guitar pop, complete with big guitar, handclaps, and attitude. The band is hard at work on more new releases for 2023 and beyond, so stay tuned for more from The Jerrys!
