The Kerry Kearny Band, featuring legendary bluesman Kerry Kearney, will be appearing at our Grounds & Sounds Café on Fri., Sept. 12.
The band just released its latest album, “The Kerry Kearney Band,” on Paradiddle Records in June. The album features seven original tracks and electrifying covers of Bob Dylan, Warren Zevon, and Otis Rush. This music delivers the raw energy and masterful slide guitar that fans have come to love.
A true virtuoso, Kerry Kearney takes the blues to new heights, bending strings and pushing the limits of his custom-made and vintage guitars with his unmistakable sound. Among his accolades:
- Best Guitarist of 1999 – LI Voice
- Bluesman of the Year 2004 – LI Blues Society
- Long Island Sound Award (L.I.S.A.) – LI Music Hall of Fame
- Inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame (2013).
Kerry has toured with The Allman Brothers Band and Dickey Betts, and has shared the stage with icons such as BB King, Robert Cray, Sonny Landreth, Robert Randolph, and The Blues Brothers starring Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi. Don’t miss your chance to experience the soul, passion, and electrifying blues magic of The Kerry Kearney Band.
