Gerry Markman

Gerry Markman (born 16 August 1950) is a Canadian guitarist. His particularly notable musical associations have been with the Cameo Blues Band, the Lincolns, Richard "Hock" Walsh and Alannah Myles.

Biography Markman began playing guitar at age 12, learning from his sister, Mirel. He remembers the folky influence she had on him and to this day is jokingly quoted as saying: "D, A7 and G, the only chords you'll ever need."

Over the next 15 years, Markman toured and recorded with the Max Band and Dandy Batt. His single, "The Flying Dutchman", became a cult favourite.

In 1977 he moved to Toronto to work at the second location of Steve's Music Store and left performing for a while.
