Band Members: Perry Williams, Dale Adams, Gerry Gillespie,
Influences: My mother would listen to Barry Manilow and the Beatles over and over. My Dad would listen to CCR. "Midnight Special" was one of his favorites. I can remember my grandfather listening to the old radio shows, Perry Como and some big band stuff. How is that for a diverse musical childhood? I love old songs but I also like new stuff. Pop, rock, hip-hop, whatever. I'm a life long student of music. I think all forms have something to teach the listener. I Love Norah Jones, Jonny Lang, and Buddy Guy and I also like The Fray, Blue October and Plain White T's.I just really love music, I internalize it. When I'm not playing or writing music, I'm thinking about it. Most of my songs were written in minutes, some of them in under 10. I don't really write songs though, I just write them down. They come to me. Sometimes when I'm sleeping or standing in a line someplace. It doesn't make the music good or bad I don't think...I just hear it and I'm not really sure where it comes from. I used to think it was mine just by the fact that I heard it and then wrote it down. I'm starting to think though that I really just re-direct it from emotion to sound. So I don't know if you can call that writing. I always laugh when I watch kids trace things with a crayon and tracing paper. They show it to you because they are so proud of what they "drew". My music is kind of like that. I just use a recorder instead of tracing paper. So in those terms, I'm not really a writer, I'm a tracer.I'm very fortunate to have some great people that I get to play with. Dale Adams is a good friend and great human being and he just happens to be one of the best guitar players in the free world. If you have never seen him play you need to catch one of our acoustic shows.I just wanted to say thanks for all the hundred and thousands of plays, comments and emails that each one of you send. I smile and laugh a lot because of this page. You guys rock!Peace and love to all of you!Perry
Sounds Like: People say I have my own sound. When asked who I sound like I used to say.."I have no idea"...then a few months later I started saying..."Me, I sound like me". Now I just say.."hopefully I sound like someone you like!"
