With electrifying live performances the Jerry DeVivo Band has become the "go to" choice musical act for all types of public and private events throughout the Chicago Land area. Formerly of the world famous Mighty Blue Kings, Jerry DeVivo has managed to mold a career out of music with decades of hard work and sacrifice. Sharing the stage with some of the greats such as: Tony Bennet, Ray Charles, B.B. King, Lou Rawls, Pete Townshend, and John Mellencamp has catapulted Jerry into the realm of the best private entertainers available in North America.
Jerry was raised on the sounds of Jazz, Blues, Motown, and Classic Soul by his mother and father who both loved music with a passion. Rooted in these sounds, Jerry started playing with blues bands in Chicago clubs at the age of 16. He attended Benedictine University in Lisle, IL as a Jazz Performance double major (Tenor Sax & Drum Set). Upon completion of the program at B.U. Jerry’s professional career began to flourish when he joined up with a few local musicians who called themselves The Mighty Blue Kings. Forging himself as an original member of MBK, his nine year stay with them featured Jerry on four full-length releases on drums and one on Tenor Saxophone. His time spent with MBK brought Jerry to 49 states and a dozen countries.
Compelled to answer his calling, Jerry took the helm of his own Jerry DeVivo Band as the singer-songwriter/tenor-saxophonist front-man. Jerry’s intense, high-energy, yet refined live performances mix original songs with timeless soul/funk classics.
