Jerry Joseph
Biography
Jerry Joseph passed through some discouraging times and faced a serious addiction before coming out on the other, brighter side. Born in California, he spent a couple of decades kicking around the world, playing out and trying to make a living with his music in places like New Zealand, Colorado, Central America, New York, and Utah. By his mid-20s, with no big record deal on the horizon, he figured he'd taken his shot and it was all downhill from there. Within five years, the situation had thoroughly depressed him and he became addicted to heroin. Throughout this destructive time, he continued to write songs and perform, yet his personal relationships suffered. Joseph is the father of a daughter and a son.

During the early '90s, Joseph fronted a group called Little Women. The band dissolved in 1993, and Joseph went on to record solo. By 1995, he was living in New York City, where he managed to kick his heroin habit. He went on to spend some time in Montana. Jim Bone, the drummer from Little Women, invited Joseph to Utah, where they formed the Salt Lake City-based Jethro Belt, an acoustic group. Jethro Belt evolved into the Jackmormons with the addition of Dave Pellicciaro on keyboard. Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons released Butte, Mont.
