Jerome Kitzke

Jerome Kitzke lives in New York City but grew up along the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, where he was born in 1955. Since his first work in 1970, he has thought himself to be as much a storyteller as he is a composer. Some of the stories are about life's personal roads, and others are about the roads that go looking for what it means to be an American early in the 21st Century, especially as it relates to the connection between how we live on this land and the way we came to live on it. Kitzke's music celebrates American Vitality in its purest forms and its emotional center exists where freedom and ritual converge. It is direct, dramatic, and visceral — always with an ear to the sacred ground. His music has been performed around the world and recorded on the Innova, New World, Mode, and Starkland labels and is published by Peer Music in New York and Hamburg.
