Next BIG Gig...
Jerry Fish...
"The Naked Fish show"
Thursday. 26th August 2010.
Jerry Fish, leading man of Jerry Fish and the Mudbug Club, makes his first visit to the River Sessions for a once off exclusive cruise with a difference. This is the first time in his career that Jerry has come together with his good friend, renowned Jazz Pianist Justin Carroll to present an unforgettable evening of song. So good it should not be missed!
Jerry Fish’s swaggering vocal has been described as Tom Waits in a good mood, or Leonard Cohen doing Dean Martin. Yes, the smiles come aplenty and witty lyrics are definitely Mr. Fish’s currency of choice, but Jerry’s songs have been so well crafted that they deserve more than a casual, amused listen.
Jerry Fish is the alter ego of Singer Gerard Whelan who through the 1990’s was the main creative force behind the band
An Emotional Fish.
His latest album ‘The Beautiful Untrue’ is ‘one of those records that raises the cool in the room without breaking a sweat.’ ‘Jim Jarmusch would pawn his brothel creepers for the rights.’
Jerry Fish lists his influences as “Beat poetry, dog, bone and sailor stories, Tom Waits, Dean Martin, Dr John, Jacques Brel, Ray Charles, One Mint Julep, Mingus, Ellington”, and his sound as “Indie Lounge Lizard Schmooze, Mariachi Swampadelica”. He ticks all those eclectic boxes!
