ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES:
Jerry D. Hobbs and the Rhythm Makers-
Jerry, one of 8 children, born in Lindsay CA, April 13, 1941 to Joe & Dorothy Hobbs. Raised in a humble environment with parents from Arkansas and Oklahoma, working hard in the fields picking cotton, grapes, chopping cotton, etc was just a part of life. Joe, being an outstanding singer/musician of Country Music, was an inspiration to Jerry.
Jerry formed his country band in 1981 playing 3 nights a week for 5 months at the Cuckoo Inn in Delano CA while honing his singer/musician skills. He then progressed over the years playing Venues from Bakersfield to Fresno and down thru the Southern Coastal areas. He has been playing for well over 25 years, with one of the best Country Western Dance Band's in the area.
He has released some of his own "Original" music to many countries overseas. Australia and New Zealand have been one of his strong supporters, with much airplay throughout the U.K. Nashville's Jessica James recorded and released one of his songs, "I Love A Rodeo Man" with good airplay overseas.
His goal has been to keep the "SOUND" of good Old Traditional Country Music alive. That's what he is successfully doing and will continue to do as long as he can.
