Perrin Crane - Musician
Uncommon.....it's not a word you hear that often. In a world where musicians strive to be different but continue to sound so much alike it's a word that barely registers. We expect musicians to be eccentric, flamboyant, even grandiose long before they are exceptional, because being exceptional is of course uncommon. Perrin Crane is uncommon in a most exceptional way. A songwriter of deceptive skill, his natural melodies and diminutive production bring a crisp breath of air to the overcrowded stage of Dave Matthews wannabes and Jack Johnson parodies. How many other songwriters list Carol King along side Kurt Cobain as major influences? Uncommonly few.
Perrin Crane released his debut CD "A big long look" with Slothtrop records in 2009.
In 2010, he finally released his first full length album with his new label. (Perrin Crane Records). AVAILABLE ON iTUNES!!
It didn't all come easy. While he started playing guitar at a very young age his musical dreams were put on hold. After graduating from Northern California's Castro Valley High School, and succumbing to a romantic wanderlust he wasted five years of his life managing several Ruby Tuesday stores on the Mid Atlantic shore. But the 60 hour work weeks eventually took their toll on him. He returned to his misplaced California, reacquainting himself with his home town, and to doing what he loved, playing music. His specialty was coffee shops and standing ovations. His music certainly reflects his colorful past.
