Jet Black Comedy

Artist Information

Biography

Jet Black Comedy was founded in 2006, built upon the solid foundation of Dan and Henry Scherrer. Two brothers dedicated to the transformative power of music and bringing back a warm vintage rock sound in a time that is dominated by cold electronic sounds.

Their creative compositions are driven by the powerful vocals of Henry Scherrer and the exciting melodies of Dan Scherrer’s lead guitar. With Henry performing double duty on bass and Dan performing double duty on drums, Jet Black Comedy released their first EP, Changing of the Guard in June of 2010. This six song release clearly demonstrated Jet Black Comedy’s warm vintage rock sound as well as Dan and Henry’s creative talents.

At that same time, Bob Redman (Bass) and Matt Winkelman (Drums and Percussion) were added to the lineup of Jet Black Comedy. With the addition of Bob and Matt came a new dynamic to the band, which resulted in a fuller/richer sound. Dan and Henry Scherrer continue to be the driving force behind Jet Black Comedy and are supported by the thundering rhythms of Matt Winkelman and booming basslines of Bob Redman. Jet Black Comedy is currently preparing to enter the studio and begin their follow up to Changing of the Guard.
