“Jerome Zeiger didn’t so much choose songwriting as it chose him. He’s always been dialed in to the beauty, humor, and hardship that make us human, and he somehow turns all of that into songs with real heart. Jerry also has an encyclopedic knowledge of music, and it shows—his tunes lift the stories he tells and make them feel both familiar and new at the same time. His songs are timeless, intimate, sometimes funny and just a little otherworldly. There is nothing artificial here, just songs with intelligence and wit.”

—Danny Kahn, Music Producer & Artist Manager

“In his rocking, rollicking songs, Jerome Zeiger asks questions. Can we expect joy? Can we find joy? Do we deserve joy? Can we suffice without it by merely observing the world around us? The questions are answered in his tunes. As a troubadour who plays guitar and harmonica--wickedly--Jerome appears something of a folkie throwback. But the rootsy well he draws from is deep, ranging from the country stylings of Hank Williams (but funnier) on "That Ain't Right" to Woody Guthrie on "Town Called Fear" to Bo Diddley on "Justice" to Elvis Costello on "Frivolous Party Girls," to name a few. Jerry's messages can be heavy, but they resolve into buoyancy. And, yeah, joy.” —David Rubien, Music Writer
