Folk-rock indie music artist Keri Edwards, with her soulful powerhouse vocals, is having a second coming of age. Fresh-faced in a new season of post-military family life, she is just now fully embracing her music again.
A woman of passion and reflection, with a fierce independent streak, she is at the same time a true romantic at heart. Wearing her heart on her sleeve, she isn’t afraid to speak her truth —whether she is whole or broken. Keri is an entertainer who comes alive on stage, eager to sing and share her stories for her audience. With her guitar in hand, her powerful belt, and lyrics in her heart, she’ll laugh and sometimes cry as she invites you into her world of life, love, passion, and inspiration.
Not a newcomer to music, she put a career in Nashville with some notable early achievements on hold to raise a family. Her list of industry achievements include publishing successes with single song contracts for four songs, three of which were recorded in Nashville by the late actress/singer Robin Griggs, a production deal offer from a Nashville based minor record label in 2001, being a special guest in attendance at Alan Jackson’s platinum celebration for When Somebody Loves You,and opening for the band Lone Star at the American Music Theater with her father Stu Huggens. She released two faith based projects during her time as a military spouse: Me and Jesus (LP) and Be Still (EP). During that time, she was recognized as an advanced songwriter in NSAI’s (Nashville Songwriters’ Association International) Dayton and Cincinnati, OH chapters and was invited to participate in an official capacity as a panelist on their Advanced Critique Panel.
Since her return to music full time, she’s been twice nominated for a Central Pennsylvania Music Award. She’s released seven singles in two years and is currently working on an album. One of those songs, I See You, earned her a nomination for a Hollywood Independent Music Award, and three others have been featured in independent film projects:
Releasing You in the short film by the same title (Filmmaker Elena Shelton)
Fall For You in the movie Letters to Freedom (Filmmaker Joshua Williams)
Only Way Out in the movie All Wounds (Filmmaker Catherine Vouvray)
