Gerry Rosenthal: Music, Memories, and Meaningful Moments with Jay Casale

I don't care if he's talking about himself personally in a song or a completely made up character, you know that he believes every word that comes out of his mouth and that's you know.
Picture this: a talented musician, a heartfelt storyteller, and a voice you might recognize from your favorite video games. That's Gerry Rosenthal. In this episode of 'The Lighter Side with Jay', host Jay Casale sits down with Gerry for a candid chat that spans the highs and lows of his life and career.
From his journey as an actor and voice-over artist to the challenges of being a gigging musician, Gerry opens up about his world in a way that's both relatable and inspiring. But it’s not all smooth sailing; he also shares the heart-wrenching story of losing his brother, a tragedy that deeply affected him and his music. Yet, despite the heavy topics, the conversation remains engaging and even fun at times, thanks to Jay's knack for blending humor with empathy.
They discuss the pandemic's impact on musicians, the importance of storytelling in songs, and how Gerry finds solace and strength in his craft. Parenting during the pandemic, the influence of Ben Folds on Gerry's music, and the art of writing songs that resonate with listeners also come up in this rich tapestry of dialogue. Tune in to hear Gerry's insights on connecting with audiences and the therapeutic power of music.
