Jerry King (born 1956) is a Wisconsin-based composer and multi-instrumentalist primarily known as the founder, guitarist, and bassist for progressive rock band Cloud Over Jupiter.
King first formed the Central Wisconsin rock group called Zany Starblaster in 1977. The band played rock stages all about the U.S. Midwest through 1980 when the band tired of the road work and dissolved. Studio and live recordings of the group surfaced later and King released the best of the tracks in 2019.[1]
For influences, King told It's Psychedelic Baby! Magazine that he grew up listening to rock music, including funk rock and early progressive rock.[2]
Recordings
He traveled around the US for the next decade until he finally settled again in Wisconsin, where he formed several bands which performed regularly. In 2013 he built his studio[3] and proceeded to work on all new original material that later was released under his band name, Cloud Over Jupiter.[4][5]
