Description:
622 North welcomes Jerry's Bones to the stage on Friday, August 1st, 2014 starting at 10 pm.

Jerry's Bones was born in the summer of 2007 while Cameron and Kendra Matthews were dating. Music was a strong connection between them, and they quickly started writing together, sharing ideas, and letting their diverse styles meet. Almost a year later, the two got married, and the band began its early, creative stages.

Kendra's writing styles musically and lyrically have the strongest roots in folk...earthy, rustic and warm, which compliments her mysterious, jazzy and ethereal vocals. Cameron's musical and vocal background in raw, edgy blues and Southern rock were certainly going to bring to the table a unique, and of course, compatible formula. Their biggest common ground was, and has been the psychedelic 60's and 70's era classic jam bands, which is evident in songs like "Burn Me Down," "Home For The Sheep," and "Stars On Top." The merging of their musical roots would give life to the jam band called Jerry's Bones. The outcome is a colorful blend with really no limits as to what genres they often explore. They stay true to their blues and folk roots, but often tap into jazz, reggae, funk, world, alt-country, and country rock.

At this point, it was clear that something very special was forming. With a strong rhythm and groove section, the energy and creativity was taken to a new level. Their live show was becoming a well oiled machine. In August of 2013, Jerry's Bones was named in the top five best local rock bands in Charlotte.

With the soulful, pop song, "Movin' On," and the radio friendly "One True Home," it is likely that they will grace the mainstream, but their presence in the underground music scene will likely be just as strong with songs like the alt-country "Help," and the bluesy "That New Wine." The band is often described as having "positive vibes," which stems from the very spiritual lyrics that inhabit their songs. They tell stories of redemption, love, and hope.
