Kerri Joy’s musical life began with the American Old Time fiddle tradition. Born in northwest Montana and inspired by folk, bluegrass and country-western music, Kerri convinced her parents to offer her fiddle lessons at the age of 8. She was already singing up a storm and especially loved singing along to John Denver, Chuck Pyle, James Taylor, and Simon and Garfunkel. Her later formative years were spent exploring music from the Celtic countries, classical, country, jazz, and musical theater.
Pursuing a vast exploration in the world of folk and acoustic music, Kerri has performed throughout the USA and across the globe and lived in Austin (Texas), New York City, Suwon (South Korea) and Minneapolis (Minnesota), before finally settling down with husband and fellow musician Quentin Vestur in Brittany, France.
Kerri's thirst for music has brought her into many worlds, and she has joined in and jammed with musicians and groups ranging from bluegrass to jam-grass; rock to reggae; folk, jazz, Rat Pack Revivals and variety shows, and of course with Irish and Scottish musicians on various stages, even drawing straight from the source in the pub sessions of Cork, Ennis, and Galway in Ireland. She has collaborated with the groups SisterTree, Poor Man’s Fortune, Ginstrings, Wookiefoot, Wild Colonial Bhoys, and Alba Spina, among others.
"Stanzas for Music", Kerri's debut 5-track EP, will soon be available for streaming worldwide.
