About
A short story
Jonny Kerry is a jazz-pop singer-songwriter, pianist and accordionist. His songs move between original material and reimagined standards, carried by a warm, expressive voice reminiscent of artists such as Norah Jones, Rufus Wainwright, Jeff Buckley, and Leonard Cohen.
At the heart of his sound are the piano and the voice, though woven throughout is a deep passion for the accordion, a dramatic, unique instrument that pulls his music toward smoky Parisian clubs and cinematic landscapes. He fell into the instrument as a young man, in with a group of French luthiers who'd come to Newark to study, evenings that turned into jam sessions that eventually led him to Paris.
