About Me

“Jerry Leger is one of the best songwriters I’ve heard in quite some time.” -Ron Sexsmith---------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------"Charming not only for its strong songwriting, but also in its unassuming approach."- Pras Rajagopalan, Chart Magazine/Chart Attack, Toronto, Canada------------------------------------------------------ -------------------"There's something about Leger that makes it all seem effortless.With lots of good acts coming out of North America nowadays, here's another to add to the collection."- Russell Barker, UK Press, United Kingdom-----------------------------------------------"4.5(o ut of 5)" -Francois Braeken, Rootstime, Belgium-----------------------------------------------“Pas sionate Toronto poet.”- Now Magazine, Toronto, Canada------------------------------------------------------ ---------"He's managed to revive the appealing elements of Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello that were surely disappearing....Leger delivers folk rock in an old fashioned, albeit not dated style."- Andrew Seale, Spill Magazine, Toronto, Canada------------------------------------------------------ -------------"At all times focused on phrasing, Leger squeezes every scrap of meaning out of his carefully-wrought lyrics. Leger proves that he’s got the chops to be around for awhile" - Kate Steele, CokeMachineGlow, Victoria, B.C.-------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- for full bio check out www.jerryleger.com
