Jerry Eubanks (born March 9, 1950) is an American musician best known as the original saxophonist, keyboardist and flautist for the The Marshall Tucker Band.
Jerry Eubanks, a sax player by trade, was asked by Toy Caldwell if he knew how to play flute... and although he didn't, that didn't stop him from answering Toy's question with a resounding "hell yeah!" He set out to learn real quick, and thus the addition of the instrument that made MTB's sound unique from all other southern rock bands was made. Jerry was a mainstay in the band from 1973 - 1996. His flute and sax solos were, along with Toy's guitar licks, the signature of the band. After 25 years of life on the road, he enjoy a life of leisure in Spartanburg with his wife and children, and plays in a band called the Lipnikkies.
In addition to his playing, Jerry wrote or co-wrote several of the band's songs, including:
"Windy City Blues" with Doug and George from Long Hard Ride
"Life in a Song" with George on Carolina Dreams
"Everybody Needs Somebody" on Together Forever with Doug & George
"Dream Lover" on Together Forever with George
"Disillusion:" with George on Tenth
"Long Island Lady" with Doug on Just Us
"Blood Red Eagle" on Greetings From South Carolina
"Tan Yard Road" with Rusty on Still Smokin'
