Gerry Gessie

Besides the distinction of being a Heritage Guitar Endorsing Artist, Gerry Gessie is a high profile, entertainer who performs throughout the USA with his Heritage “Little One” Model Guitar. His style in music spans from classic to rock. At eight years old, wanting a bicycle for Christmas and getting a guitar instead, Gerry was introduced to the world of music. Disappointed, indeed, that there was no bicycle under the Christmas tree, he nevertheless indulged his folks during the ten free lessons that were purchased along with the guitar. Obviously, he didn’t put the guitar down after the tenth lesson. After a stint in the Army, Gerry made the decision to make music his full-time profession. He is a full-time entertainer, singer, songwriter, a teacher, travel guitar advocate, and campaigner of keeping music in our schools.

Gerry enjoys performing in all types of venues. Some of the more notable being the major Pocono resorts, Nashville Convention Center, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Atlantic City, Las Vegas, as well as Fairs and Festivals around the country. He has performed with luminaries such as Les Paul, The Four Seasons, The Shirelles, The Rascals and country/western luminary, Doug Supernaw.


Gerry debuted the Heritage “Little One” Guitar at the Summer 2000 NAMM Back Stage Experience in the ‘dream team’ band, along with Bob Korg, Lee Oskar and Big Neal of Los Angeles, CA. His passion is performing. He also has a strong commitment to provide our communities the insight to continue valuable musical education in the schools. Together with Heritage’s genius and craftsmanship in creating a perfectly sized travel guitar, Gerry continues to be committed to performing and successfully marketing the Heritage “Little One” Guitar.
