About Jerry T. Yates

I use my middle initial T. in my name, because there are many other artists with the name Jerry Yates.
I am originally from the far northwestern corner of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Ashe County, North Carolina. We moved to Fairburn, Georgia in 1961, when my Dad took a job with the (expired link) Post Office as a mail carrier.
My first public performance was when I was 12 years old. I played at a 7th grade class talent show. I played in various Rock-n-Roll bands throughout high school. Upon graduating, I started playing solo, as well as in Country/Rock bands. During the 70's I even became a popular Elvis impersonator.
I was saved, by the grace of God, in 1975, and in 1978, God called me to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. So I began playing Christian Country music and preaching in 1979. I was ordained into the gospel ministry in 1982. I played in a really good Christian band for several years, but I felt God calling me to a solo music ministry, which I began in 2003, playing the same style of music I play now. Again, by the grace of God, I won the 2008 Roots Music Association's Gospel Artist of the Year Award.
My primary musical influences were Elvis, Johnny Cash, John Fogerty, and Lightnin' Hopkins.
I'm still serving God by preaching on occasion, playing my/HIS music, recording and selling my CD's.
My wife, Karen, and I live in Newnan, Georgia. You may contact me here on N1M, or email me at jerrytyates@(expired link)
