Gerry has lived in Fairhope, Alabama since the late seventies. He has been sharing his love of music with Alabama children and adults, as a guitar teacher, for the past 30 years.

​

His earlier musical influences included John Coltrane, George Benson, BB King, Joe Satriani, and Carlos Santana. Gerry has covered jazz, country, pop, and rock and roll with many bands over the years including Home Skillet, Bust Band, and many others. 

​

Gerry's greatest musical influence in the southern rock genre is Gary Rossington. Lynyrd Skynyrd has always been his favorite southern rock band so it's only natural that he would decide to form a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute.
