Jerry Haines is a Solo/Singer/Songwriter Folk Act who has been making a living playing festivals, fairs, colleges, concert series, and Coffee Houses throughout the Mid-Atlantic full time for the past 30 years.

His style would fall in the Folk/Contemporary Folk category.  He finger picks most of his songs on guitar and adds strong blends of harmonica.  Jerry's well thought out 'from the heart' lyrics draw on day to day life, love, loss, happiness, and sadness that are easy for people to understand and relate to.

His influences would have to be the likes of Bob Dylan, John Prine, Graham Nash, Loudon Wainwright, Carole King, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Joni Mitchell.

Jerry also plays an autoharp that offers its beautiful, distinctive, "Old Time" sound and accompanies himself on harmonica at times.  Pretty, flowing waltzes to lively paced reels and jigs.  What a sound!

Through Jerry's travel he has shared the stage with some of the best:  Tom Chapin, Livingston Taylor, Leo Kottke, John McCutcheon, Leon Redborne, Bluesman Chris Smither, Singer/Songwriter Bill Miller, Mike Marshall, Cajun Music's Beausoleil, Zydeco Great Queen Ida, Windham Hill's Nightnoise, and Claw Hammer Banjoist, Debbie McClatchy.
