"After years straddling the rock and folk circuit in upstate New York, Saratoga songwriter Michael Jerling is getting the attention he has long deserved. With a subtle but encyclopedic command of American styles and rhythms, a captivating melodic sense and incisive, clever lyrics, he is as supple a song craftsman as any riding the folk boards today." - Scott Alarik, Boston Globe

Songs such as In Another Life or How Can People Live Like That from his recent Waterbug album will convince you that Michael knows how to craft songs with original music, and with lyrics that really mean something.
