Raised in the small town of Dalby Queensland Kerry’s love for music
started when he was given his first guitar at the age of 10. with his
fathers love for country music and his brothers taste in rock, he was
always going to be a country rocker.
In 1989 Kerry founded Double
Barrel, a classy little duo mainly playing around the Gold Coast, but in
1990 he decided he would change direction and start the Double Barrel
band, From 1990 to 1995 the band toured extensively throughout
Queensland and N.S.W. playing at mostly B and S balls and out back
hotels.
In 1996 the band released their first album entitled “Australia’s
Most Wanted”, this all original album was the turning point for the
band. In 1997 Kerry was a finalist in the prestigious Star Maker at
Tamworth and had also been placed in the top 5 for his song writing
ability in the Queensland sunnie awards.
The band once again took to
the road and in 1999 they began taking their music across the Tasman to
New Zealand, and received great recognition from their crowds
They
were asked back in 2000 to welcome the new millennium in at the Napier
R.S.A. and later that year they made a return visit to perform at the
Gisbourne music festival in that same year Bundaburg Rum recruited the
boys to be the official band for the upcoming Bundaburg Bull Riding
Series. This took them all around Queensland playing in Toowoomba,
Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Gold Coast and finishing off at the Brisbane
Entertainment Centre, where the backed Australian legends Ian Moss and
Lee Kernagahan 2000 was also a great year for Kerry’s song writing where
he was placed in the top 5 for his beautiful song “Glass Of Wine” he
also released a song entitled “Single Tear’ for the S.I.Ds foundation to
raise money and awareness for the foundation.
In 2001 the band were

Vanuatu , they were at all the Major Festivals including the Gympie
Muster and the world Known Tamworth Country Festival.

released their third album “Goin Home” which reach number 7 on most the
radio’s stations around the nation, and in March they set off on there

After a successful tour they band decided to take
a well earned break, and in the middle of 2005 the band split and went
there own separate way, still playing at Tamworth and major festivals.
In July 2006 the band got the urge to reform and released there
fourth album “The Moods About To Change’.
