| Jerry Bryant is a native of the
State of Maine who for the last 30 years has performed folk music all
over the United States. Performing on guitar, concertina, banjo,
melodeon and other acoustic instruments, his repertoire includes
hundreds of traditional and contemporary folk songs, with a particular
interest in the music of sailors. Jerry enjoys giving people a glimpse
of our maritime heritage through the songs he presents. He carefully
researches the material, so that his performances are not only full of
good music but are peppered with historical insights as well. Jerry
writes songs, too, using the tradition as inspiration and actual people
and events as subjects.
Jerry has been featured in the San Francisco
National Maritime Historic Park’s sea music concert series, Mystic
Seaport Museum’s annual Sea Music Festival, South Street Seaport in
New York, and many others. His recording The Ballad of Harbo and
Samuelsen showcases old and new songs. He can also can be heard on
the Mystic Seaport CD American Sea Chanteys, and on Contentment
by Rick Spencer. His latest release, Roast Beef of Old England,
is a collection of traditional songs from the man-of-war days of the
British Navy, and is a companion to the seafaring novels of Patrick O’Brian. |
