SoundClick artist: Perry Rice - acousto-electric cosmic Americana

I'm a singer songwriter, influenced by country, folk, jazz, jambands, and generally offbeat stuff. Some of my songs are political, some humorous, some just moody instrumentals.

Why this name?

As a solo act now, the name choice wasn not particularly hard!

Do you play live?

I play live only occasionally now, looking for a sober competent rhythm section and collaborators currently. I want to form a band where the band members listen to one another, with spontaneity and improvisation are normal. Ideally, think of the Grateful Dead with CSNY harmonies, or the Band, or Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

My old band always closed with a 20 minute version of Whipping Post, and tere were ALWAYS special moments then!

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Record companies must adapt or die.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Maybe
