Biography

Jason Michael Gerraughty (b. 3 September 1982, Nashua, N.H.) is an American composer.

From an early age, Gerraughty played brass instruments in community bands, drum and bugle corps, musical pits, and orchestras in small towns throughout New England. These influences solidified a desire to create music of value to both amateur and seasoned listeners. A central tenet of his work is combining innovative approaches to form, color, and texture with a direct and intuitive musical framework. Gerraughty’s music produces new and peculiar blooms from its roots in the classical tradition.

Gerraughty holds a Ph.D. from Stony Brook University, but currently works outside of academia. Composing, his true passion, occurs in the early morning hours before work each day. He lives in the desert outside Los Angeles, but dreams of the Atlantic beachside towns of his youth often.
