Jerry Lawson from The Persuasions upcoming New York gig



God's In The Stones

Yesterday I received a really nice e/mail from Jerry Lawson thanking 'Exile' for pointing out that
The Persuasions a cappella Grateful Dead covers album 'Might As Well' was available to download from 'Never Get Out of the Boat'
Jerry who for nearly 40 years fronted the legendary a cappella group, The Persuasions and who has recorded and toured with numerous artists such as Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Liza Minnelli, Joni Mitchell and Frank Zappa also has an upcoming gig in New York at the Bitter End on September 19th. Details are above. Check it out.
It is also nice when artists recognise the power of blogs to spread the word about groups that we like as Julie (Jerry's wife) said in the e/mail:
"My husband is Jerry Lawson, lead singer, arranger & producer of The Persuasions for 40 years & 22 albums. I spotted your blog and showed it to him. He is not a computer person so he asked me to thank you for sharing his music."
