Other Bands and Gigs

In 2015 Kerry formed Meraki acoustic duo with fellow salsa dancer Joe Polidano after jamming at a weekend dance festival. Since that time, they have been performing their varied, entertaining music in various venues across Melbourne and regional Victoria. Whether it’s a restaurant, pub, winery or wedding Meraki delivers a great mix of covers that can be tailored to suit the clients and the venues. They play guitars, ukuleles, sax and percussion and sing beautiful harmonies: having both male and female lead vocals ensures a great variety of tunes. Happy to quote for your venue or function.
