Meet Rhythm Guitarist and Keyboardist Kerri... It was on a Christmas night, when Kerri watched the movie "A Hard Days Night" that she realized she wanted to be a guitarist like The Beatles. From that moment on, Kerri was hooked on music and The Beatles. She formed several bands in high school and college, always learning from mistakes and trying to improve upon them. She also realized that marketing and "hype" was just as important as the bands themselves. While attending college, Kerri was also involved in the theatre department at WPC and earned several leading roles in productions.
Upon earning her BA in Communications from Centenary College, Kerri then asked, "Now what?" She held various day jobs, but she longed to play music for a living. The opportunity finally presented itself in 1993, when Kerri formed the very successful all female cover band, Good Girls Don't. In a very short time, GGD became a top drawing club band on the East Coast, selling out venues wherever they played. Billed as "your all girl dance alternative," because of the talented and versatile GGD members, GGD was able to play all types of genres of music. Talent, teamed with the infectious chemistry of the five members, GGD had massive appeal. GGD performed at the top clubs on the East Coast including The Osprey and Jenkinson's. The band also opened for Korn, Fuel, Noel Redding and Keanu Reeves and performed at the Roseland Ballroom, Palladium and The PNC Arts Center. One of the band's final performances occurred in 2001,when they appeared on MTV's The Ultimate Cover Band Battle. Several of Kerri's "Beatlesque" original compositions (featuring lead singer Bridget) have been featured in some 'Indy" movies.
After GGD disbanded, Kerri performed in various cover bands and even opened for The Spice Girls. Kerri returned to the "working world" and held a sales position for six years. Feeling rather unfulfilled, Kerri returned to graduate school and finally found a career where she could use her creativity, love for music and still have a stable working situation. She has been teaching Middle School Social Studies for the past six years. She is still involved in theater, having directed her school's musical for the last three years. For the past two years, Kerri has been trying to form an all female Beatle's tribute. The timing and line-up finally came together in 2010! Here is to years of success playing the music that energizes and inspires her!
