Whether you're into hip-hop, rock, country, jazz or blues, Jervis Jort will get your body moving. The seven-member band, led by Mike Zerillo, a 28-year-old Sprint engineer, has been together for about six years and takes pride in its diversity when it comes to music genre. "I think there is something cool about doing a country tune, then a hip-hop tune, a blues jam, and then a jazzy number," he says. "I believe we also contribute to a fun and festive environment." The band plays a lot of original music, but you will hear Jervis Jort's style coming through Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, Johnny Cash and many other cover songs.--www.thex.info
Jervis Jort is a band that delivers a unique sound and creates an incredibly lively atmosphere. It is difficult to label Jervis Jort’s music, as they create their own songs, and also cover a broad spectrum of styles. The label the band has inherited, “hickory-funk,” perhaps sums it up best. The band incorporates funk, blues, jazz, hip-hop, rock, and country. These multiple facets allow the band to appeal to a wide range of people in the audience. It also allows the band to accommodate specific types of environments. Jervis Jort plants its roots in Kansas City, but occasionally ventures out to St. Louis, Boulder, Dallas, and several college towns throughout the mid-west.--www.stlscene.com
