About Jerry

Jerry A. Ranger – well, what can one say about an individual who writes a song about having a colonoscopy? Wacky and zany come to mind – but perhaps not as often as they come to his. Speaking on behalf of Jerry, I feel confident that I have the inside track of his talents, experience, and oftentimes humorous wit.

Jerry has spent the past 40 years in the music and entertainment arena, having written and produced a multitude of shows for the Cruise Line Market, Casino showrooms, and various other venues. He has ventured into the world of Jazz, big band, orchestrating, conducting, arranging, commercials and advertising, performing, and the theatrical Broadway stage musicals.

Ranger owned a 10-piece show band inclusive of palm trees, zoot suits, gangster outfits, and crazed band members in whitetails that have performed across the United States and Canada, reminding audiences what the swing era was like in the eyes of Cab Calloway, Luis Jordan, Louis Prima, and other nefarious ‘Swing Heavies’ from the ’30s and ’40s.

Following his years of performing, Jerry delved into the field of arranging and orchestrating for many artists, then had a quick stint in the cruise line production show market (25 years), and now he is heavily involved in writing original musical theater productions. One of his current projects is being the music director for a vocal jazz quartet made up of three lawyers and a Judge, The Singers in Law. See what wacky and zany can do to you?

You are probably wondering just who I am……well if you happen to see a chicken who’s spent most of his life as a permanently embedded wall hanging – that would be me. Most folks call me Squawk…..but then you’re probably not most folk.
