about
Born and raised in Illinois, songwriter Michael Jerling became involved with music while helping to run the campus coffeehouse at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire. Now settled in Saratoga Springs, New York, Michael has been a noted artist on the club, college and festival circuits of North America since 1975. Michael has been among the winners of the prestigious “New Folk” competition at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas, and his involvement with the seminal Fast Folk Musical Magazine in New York City led to his song “Long Black Wall” being included on a Smithsonian Folkways CD celebrating twenty years of Fast Folk. September 2007 marks the release of his latest CD, Crooked Path, thirteen new original songs recorded in his own studio on the Fool’s Hill Music label. Other recordings include Little Movies (2001), My Evil Twin (1992), and New Suit of Clothes (1994), on the internationally respected Shanachie label, and in 1997, In Another Life came out on Chicago-based Waterbug Records. Early Jerling (1998), also on Waterbug, is a digitally remastered compilation of the best cuts from his self released LPs On Top of Fool’s Hill (1981), and Blue Heartland (1988).
