James Limerick Kerr
Dr. James Limerick Kerr is a resonator steel guitarist, classical guitarist, vocalist, and educator based in the NYC/Connecticut area. His solo concerts feature a unique mixture of original and classic gospel blues and bluegrass. Although James’ performances are solidly rooted on the foundations of Delta blues, gospel, and bluegrass, he incorporates a broad array of influences and enjoys the musical challenge of attempting to expand genre boundaries and expectations for the resonator steel guitar. In addition to his performance endeavors as a Dobro player and guitarist, James Limerick Kerr is a music professor who holds a doctorate in classical guitar performance. His channel combines solo performance and instruction videos for Dobro and slide guitar.
