The Story of Jerialice

Her father, a physicist and rocket scientist – her mother, a twin. Thus was the setting for a life full of travel, spaceships, astronauts and oceans.

She landed on a small ranch in the Texas hills after living in Austin and Houston for many years. There she began her solo song-writing career.

Among the many well-known bands she started and/or played in are the award winning Beat Meters and Chickadeisels in Austin Texas. As a solo artist, she continues to make a name for herself.

A Gal Named Jerialice
Austin, Texas is the state’s mecca for artistic flare. It draws inspired souls from all over the world and in one particular case, an award-winning, ex-Austinite will return to town bringing new music to the world at her CD release party for band members, friends and fans!

Meet my friend Jerialice. Oh I say friend but, we hardly know each other and yet I feel as though I have known her my whole life. In fact anyone that knows her will tell you the same. For years Jerialice has been performing with Joe King Carrasco, singing back up and playing bongos for the world famous artist. She also toured throughout her life solo or with various original music bands of her own. She’s started and performed in seminal Austin bands since 1979, playing many styles. After battling for her family’s inheritance down in Mexico, she bought a ranch and started a recording studio outside of Austin along the Llano River. Once she got settled in, she recorded over 200 projects and is still doing some work with select clients. It was a marvel of timing, slowly like a very large clock, gelling over six years!

Her band is called “Enchanted Rock”; it’s modeled after the soaring and yet rooted aspects of the nearby National Landmark, Enchanted Rock. As years went by she kept the faith and worked slowly but surely on the new material she’d been writing on her ranch. She moved forward in an almost unrelenting way with much personal sacrifice, and she completed the project.

Joe King Carrasco comments – “When you hear her voice you know it instantly. Like a fingerprint in the sand. It is there. In all its wisdom, in all its beauty.”

Hill Country performer plays worldbeat, bluegrass, blues and originals at Starlight Theater in Terlingua March 18th

There’s something different about spunky Hill Country songwriter Jerialice Arsenault, who will perform in Terlingua, at the infamous Starlight Theater on Friday, March 18th. She doesn’t sing about beer, honky-tonks or pickup trucks. Instead this biblical scholar and former punk rocker explores more mysterious truths.

The daughter of a Houston rocket scientist, a childhood spent watching NASA space launches certainly broadened her perception of the heavens. Jerialice calls her music “Holy Folk Rock” and it is like nothing you have heard before.

The album comprises 10 songs ranging from rock to country and from the Middle East to Far West Texas, where her CD was released at the Starlight Theater in Terlingua.

Jerialice is in the business of being unique, but she doesn’t have to try too hard to make a name for herself. She did that 10 years ago. At the time, Arsenault went by her first name, Jeri, and her surname Arsenault. She combined her first and middle names and called herself Jerialice. It’s a literal illustration of her evolution as a person, but Arsenault—a singer, songwriter and sometimes promoter—has carved a niche for herself.
