Jeiris Cook

Jeiris Cook, a former warehouse manager and current “bowtie” aficionado, dove with both feet into musicianship at the age of 37 with a young family in tow. After many late nights after work honing his craft, a 2017 camping trip with his son proved to be a prime opportunity to test his newly developed skill. How does one go from a warehouse manager to full-time troubadour you might ask? In Cook’s words “I’d always sing in situations when it wasn’t deemed appropriate. I’d sing at work, during meetings or conference calls and I realized my calling. Like the universe kept knocking me in the head to drive the message home. So I stopped resisting, and went with it”.

Coming from a long line of singers and musicians, Cook looks to carry forward the momentum left by previous generations. On why Cook wears a bowtie, he often quips from the stage, “No one remembers my name, but they remember the bowtie, which is why I wear it”.
