Influenced by his father, a Chet Atkins-style guitar finger picker, Jerry Leslie pursued his passion through high school, 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. After touring the world with Christian bands in 1996 and 1997, he began flying and giving flight instruction for United Airlines. Jerry 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 Flamenco. 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.
