Kerry Minnear (Born on January 2, 1948, in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England) is a classically-trained multi-instrumentalist who played in the innovative progressive rock band Gentle Giant during the 1970s.
Contributing to the band's success as one of the composers and arrangers, Kerry, unlike most of the keyboardists of his time, chose to create natural sounds from his keyboards. Like the other members of Gentle Giant, Kerry was quite adept on a number of instruments including the cello, upright bass, vibraphone, recorder, and the flute.
Kerry now lives in Solihull (West Midlands) with his wife Leslie and has had three children, Sally, Sam and Suzie. Still very much a part of the Gentle Giant franchise, he also composes for film and television.
His son Sam Minnear is a founding member of alt pop band Misty's Big Adventure.
