I Am The Band...

I write lyrical music... melodic & rich with color. The songs are often warm & moody. To me, it's all about creating a space, a place...
The music takes you there. Listen & Think, Feel, Drift... It's your music too.
Everybody seems to want to fight everybody these days...
Pent Up Rage....You can see it in people's eyes.

This is "Really-Bad World-Political Karma" at work...
Really Good people, & until recently, Clueless Selfish Leaders... it’s going to take some time to repair.

Tom Perri, ASR (Auditory Stress Reliever). At your service..

I started writing at age 11. It helped release the crazies of a troubled kid.
Being "Safety Patrol Captain" was probably not a great career move move for getting a girlfriend... Ya Think?

I was trained as a classical pianist, but was way too "active" to sit for hours a day, So I became a drummer. Then I began writing music. I had years of opera training as well.
I sang lead vocal from the drum kit, until that became too exhausting...
Bye Bye drumming...I’ve been singing from behind the keys ever since, unless I’m fronting a band, dancing the beat. You CAN never really kill the drummer in you...

I’ve written for Sesame St., scored a movie; Rock Bands, Wedding bands, but I’m an “original musician” first. I teach voice & will produce training video & streaming online lessons soon. Eyes Open.
