Mr. Kersey is available for hire as a performer, composer, arranger, recording artist, and private teacher.
Looking for musical variety? Cellist and composer Tom Kersey’s got you covered. Hire him solo or with the elegant and versatile Fibonacci Strings, available as a duo, trio, or full quartet. Want something a little more exotic? Try Harpology, a string trio with harp that sounds like chamber music had a dream about starlight. Craving groove and grit? Book KELP (from duo to full band), Tom’s ensemble serving up original compositions and jazz standards with spirit and spontaneity. And for something completely different, Tom also performs loop-pedal improvisations, a swirling mix of jazz, rock, ambient, and Indian classical influence that builds from a single line into a whole sonic universe.
