Hello! I'm Jason Perl, an acoustic guitarist and singer-songwriter with a vibrant musical journey that spans over 25 years. Throughout my career, I've had the pleasure of writing and performing in a blend of genres, including rock n roll, doo wop, country, and blues. My performances are charged with energy and rhythm, designed to get feet tapping and hearts racing—no matter the age of my audience. I believe in the power of music as a universal connector, and I strive to create a familiar sound that evokes the nostalgia of the tunes we all grew up with.
My musical inspiration is as varied as the styles I perform. From the rockabilly vibes of the legendary Elvis to the heartfelt storytelling of the Counting Crows, I draw upon a rich tapestry of influences that shape my sound. Each song I write is a story, a glimpse into moments of fun, love lost, and yes, a little mischief along the way. I want my listeners to take a ride with me, one that keeps you holding on and longing for more.
When I step onto the stage, I aim to transport you away from the daily grind, allowing you to escape into a world of catchy lyrics and soulful guitar melodies that paint rich memories. There's something magical about live music—the way it can uplift, inspire, and evoke a sense of reminiscence. I love sharing this experience with my wife, Kat Perl, who often joins me on stage. Her harmonies add depth and texture to our songs, reminiscent of iconic duos like Johnny and June Cash or Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. Our collaboration brings a special vibe to the music, celebrating the beauty of partnership both on and off the stage.
My setup is refreshingly simple—just an acoustic guitar and a microphone. This bare-bones approach allows me to perform in a variety of settings, from intimate coffee shops and cozy bars to large concert stages filled with thousands of fans. Regardless of the venue, I strive to deliver a sound that not only captivates but also transports you back to another time—a time filled with the joy and heartache that only music can convey.
I’m on a mission to share these stories and sounds with as many people as possible. So, if you’re looking to add some rhythm and nostalgia to your next event, let’s get something booked today! I can’t wait to take you on a musical journey that you'll remember long after the last chord fades away
