Musical Legacy
April 4th, 2025
Jerk Star releases "Every Time I Look at You" his original song that is gaining critical acclaim! This production takes things to the next level with Jerk joining forces again with Jon Mulvey in his 2 Heart Recordings Studio located just up the road from Jerk's home in Pioneer, California!
Again leveling up with the addition of Grammy Nominated Bass Player MYRON DOVE who's played with legends like Stevie Wonder, Santana and Buddy Guy lends his low end to this work as well as a couple other future releases.
Jim Leadbetter Austin, Texas based drummer keeps down the groove with his phenomenal touch on the skins!
Jerk Star's live performances are electrifying! His passion and talent shine through every note.
