Jerry Hermosillo///

DENVER NATIVE JERRY HERMOSILLO WAS DRAWN TO MUSIC AT A VERY EARLY AGE.  MUSIC WAS ALWAYS IN THE HOME AND JERRY GREW UP LISTENING TO A FAMILY BAND WHERE HIS FATHER PLAYED GUITAR. HIS GRANDFATHER AND UNCLE SANG LEAD VOCALS, AND SEVERAL ADDITIONAL UNCLES ACCOMPANIED THE BAND IN VARIOUS WAYS.  AS HE GREW UP, JERRY DISCOVERED THAT HE COULD ALSO SING AND DEVELOPED A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR MUSIC FROM ALL DIFFERENT GENRES.  A MOSTLY SELF TAUGHT MUSICIAN WITH SOME CLASSES AND LESSONS ALONG THE WAY, JERRY INITIALLY BEGAN PERFORMING WITH SCHOOLMATES AND FAMILY MEMBERS AT VARIOUS TALENT SHOWS AND HOUSE PARTIES.  HE QUICKLY MOVED FORWARD TO FORM HIS OWN BAND UPPERHAND WITH A LATIN ROCK INFUSED STYLE. THIS BAND ENTERTAINED AT FESTIVALS, PRIVATE PARTIES AND THE COLORADO BAR SCENE. THEY ALSO RELEASED A CD TITLED PROJECT 71 IN 2003. WHEN UPPERHAND PARTED WAYS, JERRY WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO JOIN LOCAL FAVORITES BUCKNER FUNKEN JAZZ.  WITH THIS BAND, JERRY WAS ABLE TO MAKE MANY NEW FRIENDS AND CONTACTS IN THE DENVER MUSIC SCENE. HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS BAND INCLUDED THE RELEASE OF A CD ENTITLED GET''CHA GROOVE ON  AND THE AWE INSPIRING PLEASURE OF PERFORMING AT THE WORLD FAMOUS RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE. MY OWN DEVICE WAS JERRY'S NEXT MUSICAL EXPRESSION AND A WELCOME RETURN TO HIS TRUE LOVE OF HARD ROCK AND HEAVY METAL MUSIC. 

AS WELL AS SINGING WITH HIS CURRENT BAND, THUMPIN, JERRY HAS BEEN PERFORMING ACOUSTICALLY THROUGHOUT COLORADO. FROM PUNK  TO FUNK, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN, JERRY IS AN EXTREMELY VERSATILE PERFORMER.
