The Reading Room Music Series at the Weston AIC is thrilled to welcome Weston’s own Jonathan Gertler!
Capturing a pure acoustic sound, Gertler’s songs feature clean guitar tones, supportive instrumentals and clear vocals, aiming at minimum production density and an organic feeling. “I hope the simpler it gets, the better it gets. When you say less but express more, the song stays central,” he explained. Here’s a review of his album No Fear: https://amplifymusicmag.com/
Gertler knows about heart, both metaphorical and literal. He spent years as a vascular surgeon, exposed to life-and-death choices and things most people never see; that way of life affects his music—a willingness to take risks to get to a better place without putting people in harm’s way.
The evening will feature songs from prior albums, as well as the forthcoming album “Unfinished Business” which is to be released on Rockridge Music this spring. Jonathan will be joined by Sal Difusco on guitar, Joe Santerre on bass, Jon Chase on percussion and vocals, and special guest vocalist, Joelle Lurie!
Check out Jonathan on the AIC’s Reading Room Music on Spotify! The playlist features all of our performers past and present. As future acts get booked, they’ll be added.
Grab seats and refreshments (including beer and wine), starting at 7pm. The music will begin at 7:30pm. Tickets are $25 and available on the Weston AIC website.
