With a guitar in his hands at the age of five, it was obvious to everyone around him that Jerry Leslie had a natural gift. Influenced by his father, a Chet Atkins-style finger picker, Jerry pursued his passion through high school, playing in garage bands and developing a sound all his own. Soon after, Jerry joined the Marine Corps where he flew the C-130 Hercules, served in Desert Storm, taught as an instructor and achieved the rank of Major. He began flying for United Airlines in 1997 and currently flies the A320 Airbus. Influenced by legends such as Jerry Reed, Doyle Dykes, Steely Dan and Stevie Ray, Jerry’s unique sound is a soulful fusion of finger style, jazz, rock, blues and Flaminco. He plays all the guitars, bass, mandolin and keyboards on his latest CD Out of the Box. Jerry currently lives and plays in the beautiful countryside of Colorado.

Love the Pickin'!
author: George Spencer
Jerry's pickin' songs, Flamenco tracks, and personal takes on old hymnals are my favorites! It's nice to have these varieties all in one place... I can pop this disc in and have a nice mix. It never gets to the point where I want to change the disc because I'm getting tired of the same stuff. If you like well played guitar, but not to much of any one style, this album is a must!

Outta The Box
author: Jacque
WOW! What a talented musician. When I listen to Jerry play I hear a man making love to his guitar. The emotions that he draws out of those strings range from agony to ectasy, and every emotion in between. He is inspired by the Creator of all music and takes my soul on a ride that is rare these days. You have and are a gift. Keep playing and refreshing our parched souls with the colors and sounds of sweet music. Love Ya

The Man!
author: Jay Rogers
Bottomline, Jerry is the man! I've played music with Jerry for 3 years... and he never ceases to amaze me. He is one of the most versatile guitar players I have ever met. From finger picking to absolute shredding... Jerry knocks it out of the park. I doubt that anyone who has ever watched Jerry play live has never seen another person play with as much heart and passion as him. As for the album, I love it! Once again, a melting pot of all of jerry's talent... layed out in one disc! I've had song #1 "Good News" in my head for a week now! You da man dude!
