Jerry Burkhart represents the finest of country musics true traditionalists. He is an incredible entertainer, instilled with unwavering dedication and hometown values. With Country in his blood and Texas in his veins, Jerry has used his talent to build a thriving fan base throughout his home state of Texas!
On a trip to Nashville, Burkhart met several key figures from Music Row including music producer Jerry Cupit. The two teamed up and went into the studio to lay down tracks for a demo album in hopes of landing a record deal. In the Summer of 1999, Burkhart signed a solo recording deal with Cupit Records.
At the age of five, Jerry was just beginning his musical journey when his parents bought him his first guitar. He spent his early years expanding his musical horizons by learning to play the guitar like his country music idols, Ernest Tubb and George Jones, as well as singing in his church choir. As far back as Jerry can remember, he has always had that lifelong dream of becoming a country music singer. When I think about my younger years, I recall spending every Saturday night in my hometown of Aquilla, Texas listening to The Opry on the radio with my parents. I imagined what it would be like to play up on that stage.
Jerry's musical appearances include performances at some of the finest Honky Tonks, Dance Halls, and Festivals Texas has to offer. Jerry has been billed with many big-name artists such as; Tim McGraw, Shenandoah, Asleep At The Wheel, Doug Supernaw, David Lee Murphy, Earl Thomas Conley, and The Dixie Chicks. Without missing a beat, Jerry Burkhart is blazing into the new millennium with an extensive touring schedule.
Born in Waco, Texas, Jerry has worked in his family's business (Auto Repair) since he was six years old. Jerry and his brother Danny now own the family business. Jerry splits his time between running the business and playing gigs all across Texas with his band, Runnin On Empty.
