BIOGRAPHY:
*An
awesome musical duo - affordable, energetic! Gary and Kerri perform
mainly in Southwest Florida but their talent and determination have taken
them throughout the United States, recording and performing live. The three
album covers below show their fan-favorite CD: “Gary and Kerri Live At
The Southwick Inn,” Gary's “911” and Kerri's “Star Spangled Banner”, and
their latest full length studio album "Nice To Meet You." Playing a variety
of venues and events over the past 8 years, this duo has developed a large
fan following, and continue to tour from the Florida Keys to the NW United
States.
Gary Ray Harvey, born and raised in Amarillo, Texas has played guitar with
a variety of artists including Jim Morris and the Big Bamboo Band, The
Platters, The Coasters, Jimmy Collins and he has performed at Farm Aid
with Willie Nelson. Gary, as lead guitar player, could be heard and seen
in the music video for the hit single “I Love Texas” in 1991. Gary has
written and performed many original songs including “911,” his heartfelt
reaction to the catastrophe on September 11, 2001, which received global
acclaim. Through radio play and broadcast interviews, Gary has developed
a loyal and dedicated fan base, which has only grown since joining forces
with Kerri. Gary has performed in forty two states and over twenty-five
countries during the past twenty-five years.
Kerri Lynn, a Florida transplant from New Jersey, started her singing career
in her church’s choir and has since catapulted into the top 40 scene. While
singing backup for Rod Stewart, performing the National Anthem for
thousands in packed arenas, she still found the time to perform with various
local & regional variety/show bands. With diverse vocal ability, she
can be heard singing anything from Patsy Cline to Melissa Etheridge as
well as the multitude of original songs that she and Gary have written.
Gary and Kerri started out performing mainly in Southwest Florida, but
their talent and determination have taken them on a whirlwind of public
and corporate performances throughout the United States. Gary & Kerri
are the perfect duo for fairs/festivals, private events, corporate functions
or virtually any other event.
In November, 2007 the two answered a request to enter "Can You Duet," a
contest hosted by CMT in association with "American Idol" producers. In
December, 2007 they produced a DVD and submitted it to the California office,
in return, Gary and Kerri were invited to come audition live in Nashville,
TN.
Today they have well over 2500 performances together as a dynamic duo. |
