Songwriting.
Jerry has written and published over 100 songs to date. There are a number that have been placed here in the United States on various network television or cable series. Placements include:
“Right Through My Hands”, co written with Nora Wolff. This song was featured on the Netflix Series “Kingdom”. It was also placed on the ABC series “Lethal Weapon”. More recently two of the songs Jerry wrote for the the Hurricane Express album, “Early Warning”, were placed on two different cable stations. The song, “When You See Me”, was featured on season 3 of the Netflix Series, “Stranger Things”. A second song from that album, “Rock and Roll Man”, was placed on the Apple TV series, “Physical”.
In addition to these US placements, many of Jerry’s songs are in rotation on a number of radio and television shows in the International market.
As Jerry said, “You don’t really make any serious money from these placements. Often times just enough for a tank of gas. But as a songwriter, it is nice to know people are listening to what you have to say. ".
