Michael Jerling

Michael Jerling is an American folk guitarist and singer. He was born in Illinois and attended college at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.[1] He is perhaps best known in the Greenwich Village area where he most frequently performs.[2] He has been cited as being a part of the rebirth of folk music in New York.[3] Jerling has cited several guitarists as influences such as Hank Williams, Robert Johnson and Chuck Berry. Rather than draw from a single style, Jerling explores several different musical forms including early rock & roll and blues.[4] Jerling has won several awards for his music including winning the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival's "New Folk" competition.[5] He has collaborated with several musicians including Bob Warren and Trey Anastasio.[6]
