Jerry Marotta is a world renowned drummer. As well as a multi-instrument musician, producer and composer.

Best known as Peter Gabriel‘s drummer from 1977-1986. But those 10 years with Peter barely scratch the surface of Jerry’s resume.

Prior to joining Peter Gabriel’s band, Jerry drummed on the 1976 smash hit single “Still the One” by Orleans. This would be the first of many hit singles that Jerry’s percussive drumming style would grace.

In addition, Jerry recorded and performed with Hall & OatsThe Indigo GirlsPaul McCartneySarah McLachlanTears for FearsElvis CostelloWarren Zevon, and John Mayer.

With Michael Cozzi from Shriekback and Sky Cries Mary on guitar. And newest addition Happy Rhodes on vocals.

The Bucket List is the debut album from Phil Keaggy, Tony Levin and Jerry Marotta. The Trio did a round of live shows in early 2019 to support the album.

Another staple project is the The Fragile Fate producing progressive ambient soundscapes. This studio band features Rupert Greenall from The Fixx on keyboards. Also features ambient drone master Eric “the Taylor on a variety of musical treatments.

In the summer of 2017, Jerry joined forces with his drumming brother Rick Marotta. This special project resulted The Marotta Brothers Band. The band did a two month residency in Martha’s Vineyard that has now become an annual summer residence for the band.
