Jerry was born in New York City and now lives in White Plains. His first instrument was the highland bagpipes but following a visit to cousins in Dublin, he switched to the uilleann pipes. Back in New York, he got instruction and inspiration from piper Bill Ochs and developed his own robust but sophisticated style. In the 1980s he toured with Mick Moloney’s Green Fields of America troupe and recorded two of his five solo CDs. Jerry is much in demand as a session player on recordings that include film scores and a disc by Dolly Parton.
