JERRY MILLER
 
 
Jerry Miller  (born July 10, 1943 in Tacoma, Washington) is an American songwriter, guitarist and vocalist.  He performs as a solo artist and as a member of the Jerry Miller Band.  He is also a founding member of the 1960s San Francisco band Moby Grape, which continues to perform occasionally.  Rolling Stone included Jerry at number 68 on their list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time and Moby Grape’s album Moby Grape at number 124 on their list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
The line-up in the Sonics stabilized in late 1963 with the addition of three members from another local band called the Searchers (not to be confused with the British Invasion band, the Searchers); their frontman was future Moby Grape guitarist Jerry Miller. Larry Parypa remained on lead guitar, while Andy Parypa switched to bass guitar. The new bandmembers were Bob Bennett on drums, Rob Lind on sax, and Gerry Roslie on keyboards and, later, lead vocals.
