Jerre Haskew

Jerre Haskew was right in the thick of the folk music boom of the 1960s. He was a founding member of the Cumberland Trio, which recorded and toured extensively. After the folk boom waned, Jerre began a long and successful career in banking. Along the way he had several investment opportunities including the purchase of the famed Guild Guitar Corporation for which he served as President and CEO. During that time he was able to establish endorsement deals with both Johnny Cash and Eric Clapton. In 2000 Jerre got the band back together and the Cumberland Trio reunited to record and tour again. Their Reunion Concert album was recorded on November 9, 2001 at the Bijou Theater in Knoxville, Tennessee. The new album and tours exposed their music to a whole new generation of fans around the world.
