Gerry is also giving a series of concerts nationwide featuring his original songs and poetry.
His previous gigs and festival appearances have been compared to a musical mission, as his poignant lyrics and prose leave the audience thinking deeply about their Christian faith, their lives and most dramatically, thinking about how they treat other people. His views are presented musically in a wide variety of foot tapping styles to suit everybody, and involve an amazing journey of emotions from tears to laughter. "Jesus is My Friend" is one his most requested songs. Click here to read it
