20 year old Jer Coons would have won American Idol, but he slept thru the audition.
Raised by a family of marsupials until the age of six, Jer eventually found a home in the Green Mountains of Vermont. His pop songwriting tendencies left him largely ignored due to the region’s affinity for granola munching and doing the hippie-shake. Ignored that is, until now.
“This indie rocker, whose style mirrors that of artists such as Jason Mraz and Ben Folds, captivated his audience with his quick wit and exceptional sound. With his excellent stage presence and playful attitude, it was an impressive performance enjoyed by all.”
Elizabeth Rowley - Bates Student
“Coons' music is like him. He's bright and articulate. He's also funny and self-effacing.”
Steve Zind - Vermont Public Radio
“The pop/rock musician Jer Coons sang his heart out to the audience with original songs from his CD and also Beatles song, "Something." He kept the audience laughing and engaged in his lyrics and tunes.”
Jill Fries - The Loquitur
“Rooted in a Beatles/Ben Folds world of strong pop hooks...In a recent chat at a Burlington coffee shop, Coons joked that he might enter Friday's gig at Higher Ground in a hot-air balloon.”
Brent Hallenbeck - The Burlington Free Press
