Kiersi Joli began her journey with the harmonica at the tender age of 6. By 9, she had already made history as the youngest Hohner Harmonica endorser, a title she proudly still holds. At 11, Kiersi became the sole endorser for Dyna-mic harmonica microphones, solidifying her place as a rising star in the blues world. Now at 16, Kiersi captivates audiences with her powerful tone, masterful harmonica skills, and dynamic vocals that far exceed her years. A seasoned performer, she has shared the stage with the likes of Jamey Johnson and The Loving Mary Band, and has made appearances on the "Show-Me-St. Louis" TV show and Heidi Newfield’s "Barfly Sessions."
Kiersi’s musical repertoire spans a range of genres, with a strong foundation in Blues, Blues Rock, and Americana. Her sound is deeply rooted in soulful blues, drawing from a wide array of influences while carving out a unique identity that resonates with fans of all ages. In addition to performing, Kiersi is expanding her musical horizons through session work and as a singer, songwriter, and performer.
In January 2024, Kiersi was chosen by the Nashville Blues & Roots Alliance to represent them at The Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge (IBC) in Memphis, where she also performed at the Women In Blues Showcase. She has been invited to collaborate with Banner Music Publishing, participating in co-writes with their staff songwriters and performing at their takeover songwriter rounds. Kiersi is a regular at the Music Row Freakshow at The Local and frequently performs at songwriter rounds and showcases across Nashville.
In May 2024, Kiersi was invited to perform at the Opelika Songwriter Fest in Alabama and the North Central Women In Blues Fest in Gainesville, Florida. She was also a featured artist at the Black Mountain Blues Festival in North Carolina, where she performed on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from July 12-14.
