Michael Jerling
Caffe Lena
Saratoga Springs, NY
One of our favorite songwriters, Michael Jerling, has been touring nationally since 1975 but happens to live right here in Saratoga. He is a keen student of the good and ghastly in American life, with a first-rate lyrical sense and impressive melody-making borrowed from blues, rock, country and R&B. He weaves themes like a novelist, evoking our shortcomings and dreams without yielding to cynicism or sentimentality. An Iowa reviewer called Michaels newest CD, Crooked Path (2007), Stronger than new rope. Especially recommended to fans of Gorka, Greg Brown, Dave Alvin or any other real smart people who make real good music.
Michaels delightfully melodic sound is accented by Teresina Huxtable on reed organ and accordion, and Tony Markellis on bass.
Note: Caffe Lena is an all-ages listening room that does not serve alcohol. Desserts, light fare, and organic fair-trade coffee are offered at all shows.
