Jerry Leger is one of the great Canadian songwriters, and also one of the most productive. With 16 finely-crafted studio albums under his belt, he creates vivid and beautifully-observed songs covering a wide span of the human experience.
These songs are hard to categorise, but fall broadly into the category of Americana, owing a debt to influential artists such as Dylan, Hank, Townes Van Zandt, and Lucinda Williams, whilst always remaining true to himself.
Jerry has toured throughout Canada, the US, Europe, and the UK, headlining shows and opening for acts such as Ron Sexsmith, The Sadies, and Justin Townes Earle. Recent shows also saw him opening for legendary artist Steve Earle.
His last album, Donlands, was greeted with rave reviews from Uncut Magazine and Rolling Stone, and stands as one of the peak moments in an already towering body of work. His new release, Lucky Streak, is a live-in-the-studio album produced by Michael Timmins of Cowboy Junkies. It includes solo acoustic re-recordings of songs from his back catalog, presented the way they were written or the way they've evolved.
For Jerry, the search for the elusive creative spark remains never-ending, but there are always new routes to explore in getting to it. He will play and sing solo on acoustic and electric guitar - an opportunity to get up close with a true original.
“Heartache has never sounded so haunting”
“Leger has that spark in him that all the great songwriters have.... he’s the real deal”
