Kerry Kearney (pronounced "Car-Nee"), a slide guitar master, plays and works his instrument to limits that amaze even the most seasoned
musician or cultured music fan. The sounds Kerry creates from his vintage, stock and custom made guitars are as unique as his song writing
and original melodies. Kerry was voted "Best Guitarist of 1999" by the LI Voice and “Bluesman of the Year 2004” by the LI Blues Society. He is
also the recipient of the prestigious Long Island Sound Award (L.I.S.A.) from the LI Music Hall of Fame and most recently, in 2013, he and his
band mates were each inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame. He has toured nationally and internationally with the Allman Brothers
Band and Dickey Betts, and has performed with such contemporaries as Sonny Landreth and Robert Randolf. Kerry and his band have shared
the stage with the great BB King at the NYCB Westbury Theater and at the Paramount Theater in Huntington, NY, as well as Robert Cray with
the Blind Boys of Alabama and The Blues Brothers starring Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi.
Kerry Kearney’s style, music from the “Psychedelta”, is his own brand containing an upbeat mix of American Blues & Roots, created from
writing and performing on the circuit for over 40 years. Along with his band, he has continued to experience an overwhelming and positive
response over the airwaves and especially when performing live. His wailing upbeat style of blues, driven by tasty, inspired guitar riffs,
electrifying slide and infectious rhythms, has allowed Kerry to amass a huge loyal following. The Kerry Kearney Band recently celebrated 20
years to a sold-out show at the Boulton Center in Bay Shore, NY.
