Jazz-Pop Singer-songwriter, pianist & accordionist — original songs and reimagined standards.
London
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.
Back in England, Kerry built a career across hundreds of gigs, jazz clubs, concert halls, festivals and BBC productions. He's played royal engagements, appeared on Peaky Blinders, and pulled in millions of streams along the way.
He's released three albums, most recently Moving On, and is tracking his fourth at home.
All line-ups perform the same repertoire, configured to suit the venue, room and occasion.

“Jonny packed Peggy's Skylight, the audience loved him, and the night ran like clockwork from soundcheck to load-out. Always happy to have him back.”
