tom kersey

Cellist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Tom Kersey consistently defies classification, but in his impressive array of work traversing worlds of classical, jazz, rock, avant-garde, electronic music and more, one thing is always clear: the ineffable spark of the Kersey sound. Tom performs with world pop/rock band House of Leros, The Florida Björkestra, Celtic band Tarbolton and his experimental group KELP.

“My approach to improvisation is emptiness; to serve as a conduit through which the universe may express itself in spacetime”. – Tom Kersey
