If you like Jonathan Butler, Earl Klugh, Wayman Tisdale, George Benson, Norman Brown, Marcus Miller, and others like these, you will love Kerry Wilkins!!!
Picking up the guitar at age 12 being influenced by the sounds of Funkadelic, Hendrix, Santana, & the Isley Brothers, Kerry began to take lessons. After three years of lessons he decided to learn guitar developing his ear to a lot of music that as guitar-prominent at the time. Jazz wasn't far behind and after joining his high school jazz band his jazz studies expanded. After high school, Kerry joined many local funk, pop, and tejano bands, and the latter band won a battle of the bands contest in which the grand prize was to record an album in 1988. After that he joined Kyle Turner's band and they relocate to Austin, Texas in 1990. When Turner decided to move to California in 1998, Kerry's freelancing career took off and he now has one contemporary jazz CD under his belt(The Introduction) and is about to release his sophomore project "Follow My Lead" which features piano greats Bobby Lyle and Bernard Wright, saxophonists Kyle Turner, Don Diego and Felton Turnage, and vocalists Derrick(D-Mac) McCampbell and Liz Vaughn.
Kerry has opened up for such artists like Richard Elliot, Nelson Rangell, Alex Bugnon, Norman Brown, The Rippingtons, Spyro Gyra, Michael Franks, Pieces Of A Dream, Jeff Lorber, Gerald Albright, Zapp, The Manhattans, and Warren Hill. He also played with artists such as Kirk Whalum, Marion Meadows, Melba Moore, Howard Hewett, Kim Waters, Bobby Lyle, Ollie Woodson(formerly of the Temptations), Michael Ward, Mike Phillips & Althea Rene'

SINCE THE RETURN FROM HER STAY ON THE MOON LUCIANNA LISTENS LIKE SPRING AND SHE TALKS LIKE JUNE
Now that she's back in the atmosphere With drops of Jupiter in her hair She acts like summer and walks like rain Reminds me that there's time to change...
Tell me did you sail across the Sun,did you make it to the Milky Way? to see the lights all faded and that heaven is over rated...
Tell me did you fall for a Shooting Star? One without a permanent scar...
And,"DID YOU MISS ME",while you were, "LOOKING AT YOURSELF", out there?
Now that she's back from that Soul Vacation Tracing her way through the Constellation She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo Reminds me that there's time to grow...
Now that she's back in the atmosphere I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol'Jane Told me a story about a man who is afraid to fly, so he never did, never really knew why...
Tell me did the Wind sweep you off your feet, did you finally get the chance to dance along the Light Of Day, or head back to the Milky Way?
Tell me did Venus blow your mind? was it everything you wanted to find...
And,"DID YOU MISS ME",while you were, "LOOKING FOR YOURSELF",out there?
I HOPE YOU SAW YOURSELF AMONG THE STARS,I HOPE YOU FOUND YOU JUST AS YOU ARE!
