Pictured: Jason Harbour, Grey, Mikey Harbour, and Jerry Patterson at Champagne Studios.



In the winter of 2001/2002 Grey, Jason Harbour, Mikey Harbour, Steve Harwood, and Jerry Patterson came together at his Champagne Studios for over 60 hours to create Rock & Pop. Jerry was a vital part of the first recording of the Rock & Pop album. He contributed his guidance, engineering and producing skills, and background vocals to the Rock & Pop project. Jerry also allowed Wappy to film over 50 hours of the recording process, and worked closely with her to ensure good audio for a documentary series called Grey: The Rock & Pop Sessions, several episodes of which later went on to win awards.

Jerry died on Tuesday of cancer. He will be greatly missed by all of us.
