Jerry Christopher, Jr. is PFB’s main bassist and started his professional music career in 1988 as the grease-painted joker for Bag Of Donuts, which he continues to both manage and perform with, and was inducted into The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame by governor John Bel Edwards in 2019. He occasionally tours with Louis Prima, Jr. and The Witnesses and is frequently called upon, for more than 2 decades, to jam in the local jazz scene. Playing with, and serving on Board of Directors of New Orleans Civic Symphony, the longest continuous running orchestra in Louisiana, and offering praise and worship on Sunday mornings, his musical skills are quite versatile, but his “real job” is as an insurance agent, with over 20 year experience helping businesses and families find solutions to complex insurance scenarios.
