Reading Room Music: Jonathan Gertler
Thurs, May 22
7-9pm
![]()
The Reading Room Music Series 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. 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!
