Here is some of what others have to say about Brian Perry:
“Worth celebrating as one of the Deep South's best lyricists.”
- Offbeat, New Orleans, LA
“Perry writes powerful, enthralling roots rock based more in funky grooves than cheap sentimentality.”
- EAT'M Music Conference, Las Vegas, NV
“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
“Everything about [Perry] looks forward and inward at the same time.”
