Description

CHECK MY CALENDAR, I'm a full Time Musician. Born and raised in Louisiana I was exposed to a "GUMBO" of styles. Over the years I added more tools of the trade starting on GUITAR then adding,SAXOPHONES,FIDDLE,FLUTE,KEYBOARDS and HARMONICA. In 2002 I started playing solo gigs professionally. I have always loved the electronics involved in music and have merged these into my preformance. I am able to switch to another insturment (at the press of a pedal} such as lead guitar,flute,sax or fiddle while the rythem is played by the pedal. When you hire me at your event you will know I have worked at what I do and love my work. Plenty of references upon request, Thank You

Feedback

  • Jerry is awesome. He arrived early to setup, he accommodated every request, and his talent left everyone in awe. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anybody looking to have live entertainment. You won't be disappointed. -- Allen P, Chattanooga, TN, 10/31/2009
  • Jerry was terrific. He was more than anything we could have expected for our special day. Jerry was accommodating to all guests requests and was a great hit for all ages. Jerry is a true professional. You won't go wrong if you pick him for your special day or for any other event for that matter! -- Lauren W, Alto, GA, 10/24/2009
  • Jerry did an awesome job at our wedding/reception. He is very talented and accomodating. He drove five hours, got to our house early, even helped set up. He can play any musical instrument or song you can imagine. We had a great time, and our guests really enjoyed the music. I just cannot say enough about how happy we were! I have to say we were skeptical at first because it is so hard to hear some of the samples of his music on this site, but live, he was better than we could have ever imagined. If you are looking for someone to provide entertainment for a wedding, reception, anniversary, restaurant, anything...Jerry if definitely your guy! -- Sarah A, Beech Island, SC, 9/19/2009
  • I hired Jerry for my parents 30th anniv party. He traveled 5+ hours,on time,friendly,played several instruments,and sang wonderful. His song choices perfect and his talent undeniable. Every1 commented on how his entertainment made the evening a brilliant success, even my parents! Every1 asked where i found him - i said gigmasters.com! i also admitted i was nervous b/c the internet, but my qualms disapeared when he sang his first song, and then again when every1 comlimented ME b/c of Jerry. I smiled, said thank you, and felt like a fantastic host, but all praise 4 musical talent deserves 2 go 2 Jerry Ford. i highly recommend Jerry and one last time, thank you. -- Cassie C, High Point, NC, 9/6/2009
  • Jerry was on time. He was very professional. He played the songs and the music that we're asking for. All the times an easy person. I will do our next party definitely with him. He was awesome and really the best choice. Thanks Jerry. -- Alex C, Canton, GA, 9/12/2009
  • Jerry is Fantastic! He drove over 3 hrs to play for my husbands 40th birthday and was absolutely wonderful. The clips on the website do not do him justice. He is even better in person. I have had so many complements pertaining to Jerry himself and his music. We found him to be more than accommodating, very personable, reliable and of course talented! I don't think there is a song out there that he doesn't know! We loved that he is able to play so many instruments and it seems any style of music. I would not hesitate in hiring Jerry again in the future and assure you, you will not be disappointed! Thanks to Jerry for making our night a huge success! -- Tracy E, Carnesville, GA, 6/13/2009
  • Jerry did an amazing job at our wedding. We would recommend him to anyone. All of our guests enjoyed his music. -- Jeremy S, Lafayette, GA, 6/6/2009
  • Jerry was fantastic! We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. We hired him for my husband's 30th birthday party, and everyone had a wonderful time and kept commenting on how great the entertainment was. I would absolutely recommend him for your next party or event. We plan on having him again! -- Jamie S, Atlanta, GA, 4/18/2009
  • I could not have asked for a better experience. The music and party went great. I've never seen someone play quite the way he does. All the guest kept asking where did you find this musician. If your thinking about having music, Jerry can really play and sing. My husband and I were all smiles and very pleased with our choice. Stacy D. -- Stacy D, Jasper, TN, 8/1/2009
  • A fantastic show! A wonderful sound and the women love him! -- Robert A, Chattanooga, TN, 1/26/2009
  • Jerry did an outstanding job. Everyone...young and old enjoyed him. Normally people would have stared to leave, but they were glued to their chairs until he was finished. He made it a great party, and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering entertainment at a party. -- Allen P, Chattanooga, TN, 7/25/2009
  • we were very pleased with jerry and will love to have him come again! -- Tracy R, Soddy Daisy, TN, 5/23/2009
