Tampa, Florida based cellist Tom Kersey provides beautiful classical, jazz, and other styles of music for wedding ceremonies and receptions. The warm and expressive sound of the cello is an elegant and unique choice for live wedding music, adding an unforgettable touch of sophistication. Mr. Kersey and his ensembles are available for performances mainly in and around Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, and Orlando, Florida. Tom has years of experience performing as a soloist for concerts and special events, and he is also available with his string quartet the Dragieva Quartet or with his jazz group KELP. Also available are string trio, string duo, and various smaller jazz combos. In addition to being a fine classical player, Mr. Kersey is a versatile musician who offers music in styles such as jazz and pop, and he is also an improvisor of unique and beautiful music inspired by jazz, rock and world music. If you have a special request for a song you would love to have for your wedding, don't hesitate to ask. Tom takes special requests in virtually any style. Consider, for example, the bride who chose to walk down the ailse to a Tori Amos song, the couple who requested "La Vie en Rose", or the clients who wanted to dance to "I Swear" for their ceremony, all specially arranged for solo cello and performed by Mr. Kersey. The kind words of one recent client are a testament to the quality of Mr. Kersey's services: "Tom was wonderful! I can't believe that I ever considered not having music. His music MADE the ceremony. He is very talented, extremely professional, and the cost was very reasonable." Audio Clips
