Jerry Bertheaume

I am a writer,recording engineer,arranger,guitarist,and vocalist who is certifiably crazy. I do this because it is what I have always have done since about 1964. I am looking for similar artists that want to focus and work together on a band that will have potential and earn a living, or at least help pay some bills, and at the same time growing as a creative group. I have played with a lot of different genres but I prefer to play creative fresh sounding music as opposed to playing something cloned off of others work and creativity. I am no party dog and don't wish to hang with any. I have performed for various sized crowds, opened for some national acts, and love to watch an audience respond no matter what the size. As you will see I write a lot about reality and awareness but I also know that I need to be open. I am looking for like-minded musicians to reach and have fun with. If interested email me or leave a message on the message board. I would be happy to respond. So click on Music and I hope you enjoy. -^- Thank You Jerry
