Biography

Howdy. I am Jerry Mac. I am definitely no spring chicken. I've been around a long time, but still meet life head on with the vigor and enthusiasm of a much younger man. I was born in 1940, and until recently was performing regularly at some of Nashville's most famous venues. I have entertained thousands upon thousands of tourist in Music City, USA year after year. The folks came from all over the world to Nashville, and it was amazing how many of them would start asking where Jerry Mac was doing his show even before they checked into their motel. But I wasn't hard to find, because fortunately I was known and liked by so many of the Nashville insiders. I may have been doing my show on stage at one of the clubs in World Famous Printers Alley, or I could have been doing one somewhere out near Opryland in Music Valley, or maybe I was somewhere on Music Row. I may have been doing my show in a nice club with the white table cloths and all, or I may have been performing in a real Honky Tonk, or I could have been somewhere on stage outside or maybe under a tent. There was one thing you could be assured of, however. Wherever Jerry Mac was, there was a show going on, and people were having fun.

The old timers in Memphis remember me from my earlier days. Yep, I was there when it was happening. I'm writing of the '50's. I was 16 in 1957 when I was working at the now "WORLD FAMOUS MEMPHIAN THEATRE" which was made world famous due to the fact that ELVIS would rent the theatre. I was the kid that served ELVIS and his entourage their popcorn and cokes during those late night hours. I recall fondly the 1st time I met "THE KING".
