Daryl Stuermer Listen to "Another Side of Genesis" Buy Daryl's CD's Music has been this international entertainer's passion and profession since he was a child. This multi-talented guitarist, composer and producer, is a self-taught musician, who started playing guitar at age 11 in his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

At age 22, the talented youth auditioned for jazz violinist Jean-Luc Ponty and was IN! The talented youth packed his bags for his first world tour and also recorded four fusion albums with Ponty. By 1987, he was alternating lead guitar and bass with Mike Rutherford as part of the legendary band Genesis. That performing association has endured for over two decades.

After former Genesis singer/drummer Phil Collins organized his own group in the early 80s, Daryl became a "permanent touring-recording member," linking his guitar stylings to the sophisticated pop renditions of that band, too. He accompanied both Phil Collins and Genesis on six celebrated world tours each. Along the way, Daryl has distinguished himself as a music writer and co-composer, joining Phil Collins in creating such memorable hits as "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven," "I Don't Wanna Know," and more. In addition, Daryl has recorded on six of Collins' solo albums.

This multi-skilled musician formed an independent specialty label, Urban Island Music, and recorded a solo CD entitled "Live and Learn."   In April, 2001, Daryl won 4 WAMIs (Wisconsin Area Music Awards), including CD of the Year for "Another Side Of Genesis," Artist of the Year, Contemporary Jazz Artist and Best Guitarist.  Jazz on the Green is excited to welcome such a legendary performer to its stage and looks forward to hearing music both from his solo career and familiar Genesis tunes which he has re-styled into a smooth jazz format. Watch for Daryl's upcoming all-original-music CD, "Waiting in the Wings."
