Folkie Fest welcomes five local guitarists with some 12-string magic for your listening pleasure on April 19th. Some Long Island favorites are taking our stage. We have Kerry Kearney, Gene Casey, Pete Mancini and Phil Kennelty are bringing their original works, and are sure to please with a variety of musical styles.

Kerry Kearney is a slide guitar master, plays and works his instrument to limits that amaze even the most seasoned musician or cultured music fan.  Kerry Kearney’s style, music from the “Psychedelta”, is his own brand containing an upbeat mix of American Blues &amp; Roots, created from writing and performing on the circuit for over 40 years. Along with his band, he has continued to experience an overwhelming and positive response over the airwaves and especially when performing live. His wailing upbeat style of blues, driven by tasty, inspired guitar riffs, electrifying slide and infectious rhythms, has allowed Kerry to amass a huge loyal following. 

In the latter part of the last century, Gene Casey departed New York City and its Punk rock/New wave scene for Long Island’s East End. There, he formed the Lone Sharks, “the house band of the Hamptons,” where bars were plentiful and audiences – both the local and the celebrated – were robust and loyal. Gene’s original music met with great acclaim with local and international indie radio play. Several of his roots-drenched songs have been used in “A Prairie Home Companion” and on the soundtracks to television and feature films, including “Justified” and “Sons of Anarchy” the 2012 thriller “The Tall Man” starring Jessica Biel, the 2013 release “The Killing Season” starring Robert DeNiro, and Rob Reiner’s “Being Charlie.

Kane Daily has over the years gained the attention of audiences in local bars and restaurants across Long Island, NY. Growing up in a Musical Family, he is a self-taught true musician. Beginning his career in the late-seventies cover circuit, He was weaned on Sixties Hard Rock and 70’s guitar driven blues/rock sounds. Kane later embraced the Delta-Blues style of guitar playing, including acoustic and slide for which he has become known. In performance and recordings he can be seen and heard occasionally performing with local groups. Additionally his own trio has performed on stages and venues at festivals among great national and semi national artists

Songwriter Pete Mancini’s latest recording, American Equator (out March 7th on Paradiddle Records) is a record that could only come from an artist who has weathered more than his fair share of storms. For Pete, life in sobriety still has its challenges, but the satisfaction of making art with a clear mind is unparalleled. Early on Mancini achieved critical acclaim with his first band Butchers Blind, though he was left picking up the pieces when they split up after two albums. Extensive touring followed, establishing Mancini as a national artist. Still, something didn’t feel right. “I was still holding on to years of pent up emotions and not dealing with them in a healthy way. I needed to clear the wreckage of the past.” An intense period of reflection and self-discovery painted a complex backdrop as Mancini continued pursuing his commitment to being a working musician.

Phil Kennelty is a songwriter, musician, singer and ethnomusicologist. Born and raised in Queens, he has played coffee houses and bars throughout the metropolitan area as both as a solo act and a member of numerous bands. His songs and interpretations of other artist’s material are constantly evolving as he changes rhythms and mood, incorporating African, Caribbean, Reggae, Delta and Piedmont Blues, Cajun and Zydeco, Native American, Immigrated American and World Music as well as good old Rock’n’Roll into a style of his own. His lyrics explore deep emotional journeys, empathy for the afflicted and an affinity for the natural world around him.
