Kerry Kearney, a slide guitar master, is entertaining in the way he plays and works his instrument to limits that amaze even the most cultured music fan. The sounds that Kerry creates from his vintage, stock and custom made guitars are as unique as his song writing and original melodies. Kerry Kearney’s achievements include awards for "Best Blues Band", "Best Guitarist" from the Long Island Voice and “Bluesman of the Year” from the Long Island Blues Society and is a recent recipient (Sept 2008) of the prestigious Long Island Sound Award ( LISA) given by the Long Island Music Hall Of Fame.
