Kerri Watts’ Celtic roots are embedded in the streets of Glasgow where poets grow and strong hearts rule.

Her current embracing of Americana is not fashion or vogue; this sound was fused when the then 16-year old Kerri ventured solo to California. She blazed a trail through prestigious venues from West Coast to East Coast across the US honing her craft in

places such as Whisky a Go Go in L.A., The Basement in Nashville and NYC’s Rockwood Music Hall. Kerri fell in love with America and its music.

Kerri’s love of travel, nature and adventure didn’t stop in the USA. An adventitious meeting with a music executive in Ibiza saw her returning to the UK to record. Her incredible pure, emotive but powerful voice and pop sensibility soon found her playlisted twice on BBC Radio 2, singles Long Way Home (released July 2015) and The Wild (released March 2016). It wasn’t long before live sessions and numerous TV appearances were booked in with ITV, STV and the BBC, and people began to pay real attention to Kerri.

Her music hinted at the wide open spaces of her American experiences, yet were carefully crafted pop tunes. Kerri’s collaboration with producer Oliver Nelson on the summer mix of You racked up over a million plays and achieved a number one on Hype Machine with rave reviews.

On the back of her commercial and critical success, Kerri hit the festival circuit running, playing Glastonbury, Isle of Wight, Secret Garden Party, Cornbury to name but a few. Kerri honed her stage performances further with support tours for Starsailor, Nina Nesbitt, Ward Thomas and the Overtones. This Summer, Kerri performed with Embrace with whom she has co-written and supported COLDPLAY at the Millennium Stadium to over 140,000 people over just two days.

Back full circle in Nashville Kerri wrote and recording new material with multi-award winning and chart topping songwriter, producer and publisher Jeff Cohen (co-writer of The Shires, Ward Thomas) along with 3 time Grammy nominee Kevin Kadish – the writer and producer behind Meghan Trainor’s ‘All About That Bass’, before embarking on her first headline UK tour in the fall of 2017.

BBC Radio 2 A-­listed singer songwriter Kerri Watt announced her first ever headline tour, with 14-­dates across the UK in November 2017.

Kerri’s single ‘Old School Love’, released in July 2017, was first for her new label East West Records (Warners). The single marked a slight change from her previous two singles, the BBC Radio 2 play listed ‘Long Way Home’ and ‘The Wild’.

On Aug 24, 2018 Kerri released a collab ‘Never’ with Embrace which saw her perform live on various radio and tv spots and support COLDPLAY at the Millennium Stadium to over 140,000 people over just two days.

She performed 4 times at the C2C Country To Country Festival in March 2018 playing the Big Entrance Stage (Sat & Sun March 10 & 11), CLUB WM-Water Margin & Busking Stage.

After signing a recording and publishing deal with Cooking Vinyl, on Jan 23, 2019, Kerri is excited to be back playing at C2C, performing with her full live band. 

She will play the Big Entrance (Sat 9 March 2019; 15:10-15:40) & Town Square (Sun 10 March 2019; 10:30-11:00).

In recent exciting news she will be Keith Urban’s special guest when he plays his headline show at London’s O2 Forum at Kentish Town on Wednesday 6 March!

Kerri also regularly presents an Americana radio show (Weds 13:00-15:00) on Pulse 98.4FM (Community Radio across Barrhead and around the World via the TuneIn Radio App) | Website; Pulse Radio House, 25 Springfield Road, Barrhead G78 2SG)
