Great singer and musician

I was listening to this talented gentleman performance at Bayside. It was amazing, the power of his energy and the magic of his music. It seems all the surroundings vibrate along with the fun party he created.

What to expect

I'm a veteran of the business. Highly experienced, whether it's an intimate gathering or a Concert. I deliver a high quality musical performance as a guitarist/ singer. On time, professional and personable! I come fully self contained for most Events. If you hire my band or an act larger than just myself, you can rest assured that the other band member are of the same caliber as myself. I work with many world-class musicians who work with some of the biggest names in the music industry.

About

Who is Gerry Coe?
A native Miamian, Gerry started playing guitar at the age of 9, and has played professionally for over five decades. He studied under world-renowned Jazz guitar educator, author and instructor Professor Vincent Bredice. Guitarists Carlos Santana and George Benson are among his main influences. Over the years, Gerry has played and recorded with numerous groups and recording artists. He gained experience as band leader for Raphael Munnings, the writer/producer and singer of the 10 million seller hit “Funky Nassau”. Gerry played with the group “Notorious Miami” alongside the great Blues guitarist Roach Thompson. As a regular recording session guitarist for T.K. Productions, Gerry gained the experience to establish himself as an accomplished studio musician, doing sessions for many producers there including the legendary Steve Alaimo. His musical career has taken him throughout the U.S., Caribbean and Europe. His musical experience spans a wide range of musical styles from Jazz, Pop and Standards to R&B, Top 40 and Classic Rock.

Gerry performs with various groups of his own, from his extensive “one-man band” setup to various larger acts. Gerry was also one of the most sought after guitarists in South Florida by other artists, both in the studio and on the stage.
Recently relocated to Ocala, FL, Gerry is currently performing primarily in North Central to Central Florida, but available to perform Worldwide.

Influences and inspiration

My specialty is Jimmy Buffett and Caribbean music but I do almost everything. Lots of Classic Rock, R&B, Reggae, Calypso, Smooth Jazz, Latin, Standards, Easy Listening, etc.
I am also a Christian Contemporary Recording Artist with current songs on all major platforms- Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, Deezer.

Setup requirements

Most small jobs I come fully self contained.

Nothing is usually required other than what I bring with me.

If it's a very large venue with house sound or a sound company, I will provide a feed from my mixer to the main PA.
