Jerry Fee’s relationship with music has been tested multiple times in the past, interrupting what has always seemed to be a solid course only to be taken back to the beginning. With his recent direction as a solo artist, it’s obvious the new found freedom to control the direction of both his future and music has paid off. "Memories, Photographs & History" is easily Jerry’s most accessible music to date, containing five songs that have been fully realized with local musicians and many hours in the studio. The combination of lead piano and multiple acoustic guitars, with just enough drums to provide the drive and direction gives the album a great and unique Americana vibe that’s extremely pop friendly. Jerry’s vocals give off an immediate comfort, allowing you to completely immerse yourself into the music without distraction. Overall, this is a wonderful step in the evolution of an artist that continues to perfect his sound.

"The 5 songs found on Memories, Photographs & History, are a mixture of singer songwriter meets melodic rock. The songs have a friendly feel to them...After listening to this EP I can tell that Jerry Fee is a guy who's doing more then just singing as a way to make a living. The first band listed in his MySpace list of musical influences is the rock group U2. I think that Jerry wants to accomplish similar things to what U2 has been able to do through their music...I think that Jerry wants to use his music as a way to open people's minds up to change things for the better. On this EP Jerry shows that he has the talent and passion to be part of the music scene for a long time." - TheCDReviewer.com
Soulful, funny, and charming, Jerry Fee pulls the audience into his performances with heartfelt singing and easy conversation with the crowd between songs. By the end of the night we felt like we'd experienced something meaningful and made a new friend. His last show here (in April '08) left us saying - "Remember that time when we went to see Jerry Fee at Art Sounds, and just about everyone there bought his CD and then followed him to Dax's to watch his show again the same night? Yeah? That was cool." --- Tri-City Events - Tri-CityEvents.com - Tracy Roberts
