Jerry Leger is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on April 19, 1985 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Jerry Leger (born April 19 1985) is a Canadian artist and singer. Since 2005, he’s made 12 album (6 as a solo artist, 3 credits with Jerry Leger & The Situation and 3 with his two side projects The Del Fi’s, as well as The Bop Fi’s).
The year 2010 ended with the release of the 4th album, Traveling Grey. Ron Sexsmith remarked, “Traveling Grey is most likely Jerry’s greatest record to date and he’s never made poor one.
Some Folks Know was released near the end of 2012, showcasing his longtime backing band, The Situation (James McKie, Dan Mock, Kyle Sullivan), Ron Sexsmith reprising his role on piano and a duet with Serena Ryder. Ben Rayner of The Toronto Star called the album “the works of a young gifted storyteller” and “some folks do indeed already know what he’s up to. Time, Jerry. Give it time. It’s coming.”
In the summer of 2013, Leger met up with Michael Timmins, member and main songwriter in the legendary band, Cowboy Junkies. This resulted in the 2014 album, Early Riser, produced by Timmins and released on the Junkies own label, Latent Recordings, distributed by Fontana North. All Jerry’s previous albums had been released independently on his own label, Golden Rocket Records (named after the Hank Snow song). The album has received high acclaim from Exclaim!, NOW, The Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail and CBC. Zachary Houle from PopMatters called the record, “A commanding and astounding listen” and “deserving of any laurels and accolades thrown its way.” It’s also noted for Daniel Romano providing the album artwork/design.
Traveling Grey is Jerry’s fourth album, and finds the singer-songwriter poised to permanently be a part of the list of people who have established Toronto’s reputation internationally as a mecca for music and singing. Leger disclosed in Exclaim! The magazine, how his record was created “It’s the most spontaneous record since my first one, which was done in two days. This one rather from when we were touring out east most of July [2010]. When I got back, I just had this bug: I need to make a record. One song was written at four a.m. the night before the sessions.” In the course of this, Jerry made two appearances at the radio show Music City Roots, hosted by songwriter/singer Jim Lauderdale, who has described Leger a talented young writer.
