Jerry Joseph & the Jackmormons Kick Off Portland, OR, USAegon New Year’s Run with Arena-worthy Rock Performance

Defining the troubadour spirit, Jerry Joseph is a force of nature. Frequently away from his home in Portland, Oregon, he thrives on playing live music to his appreciative audience, constantly touring the US with his band The Jackmormons and regularly crossing the Atlantic.

Jerry Joseph’s The Beautiful Madness was one of the best albums of 2020. It found Joseph penning some of his most poignant and vulnerable songs while being backed in the studio by none other than the Drive-by Truckers, giving the album an all-star quality that was anything but novel.

Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons capped off their 4-night New Year run at Dante's in downtown Portland, Oregon on Friday, December 31st.

Among an increasingly frustrated portion of the population, there is a sense that life must go on even if we are still living with the reality of the pandemic.

A Wednesday night in Newport was never going to attract the biggest crowd, but those who were there were treated to a show of excellent, even extraordinary performances. Local opening act Iolo Edger's brief set had good songs sung with emotion, and some fine guitar playing.

On Saturday, September 12th, a group of friends braved adverse conditions and came together outside of Portland, Oregon to celebrate the birthday of a longtime fan of Jerry Joseph. Joseph brought along his band, The Jackmormons, as well as a couple of guest musicians to play two full sets of music.
