JERRY DONAHUE - by Evan Skopp "The guitarist's guitarist" and "Bend Master of the Telecaster." Those are the monikers bestowed upon Jerry Donahue by those fortunate enough to have witnessed first-hand his truly amazing and almost freakish electric guitar technique, both as a soloist and as one third of that hellish troika de-twang, The Hellecasters . A perennial Guitar Player magazine Reader's Poll winner, Jerry Donahue has performed and recorded with some of the biggest names in popular music. From his early days in such bands as Fotheringay and Fairport Convention, to notable performances and/or recordings with Gerry Rafferty, Robert Plant, Joan Armatrading, Elton John, The Proclaimers, Johnny Hallyday, George Harrison, Cliff Richard, Chris Rea, Warren Zevon, Bonnie Raitt, Hank Marvin, Roy Orbison, Nancy Griffith, The Yardbirds, and The Hellecasters , Jerry epitomizes the consummate guitarists guitarist. Jerry has received widespread acclaim for his work as a member of The Hellecasters guitar trio. Guitar Shop magazine described Jerry as a "freak of nature" whose string-bending technique could be accomplished only by a "four-armed pedal steeler! In Guitar Player, the late, great Danny Gatton referred to him as "the string-bending king of the planet". His recent Telecasting Recast is actually a re-release of Jerry's 1986 cult solo debut, Telecasting, and is a favourite among guitar fans everywhere. Recast is a wonderfully revamped, renewed and upgraded version featuring added surprises and considerably higher production values. The son of the late 1940s/50s Big Band leader Sam Donahue and TV and film actress, Patricia Donahue , brother of the late Marc Donahue , and father of singer/ songwriter Kristina Donahue , Jerry has combined the Celtic folk music of his adopted home in the UK with his American rock, blues and country roots to arrive at his own, unique, unmistakable style.
