New Orleans-based singer/songwriter Brian Perry plays an emotive brand of contemporary pop-roots-rock. His writing and performance draw comparisons to Bruce Springsteen, the Counting Crows, Keith Urban, Matchbox 20, and Shawn Mullins. The music is inspiring and thought-provoking, the lyrics honest and well-crafted.
“Worth celebrating as one of the Deep South's best lyricists.”
-- Offbeat, New Orleans, LA
“The intimate set I shared with the gentle-voiced, guitar-strummer from New Orleans...instilled in me a genuine appreciation for the craft of singer/songwriters. I think Perry... may be a big music angel with an even bigger talent sent to show me how well it can be done.”
-- Gambit Weekly, Baton Rouge, LA
“Perry writes powerful, enthralling roots rock based more in funky grooves than cheap sentimentality.”
-- EAT'M Music Conference, Las Vegas, NV
“Everything about [Perry] looks forward and inward at the same time.”
-- Mountain Xpress, Asheville, NC
