...Williams oozes with passion and his excitement is contagious. He has always loved music, but simply never had the time to be committed to learning. He said that he always knew something was missing in his life, and when he started playing music, that was it.
"I don't have that hole anymore," Williams said. "For me, that was music."
He began writing music shortly after he started playing and says most songs don't take him more than half an hour to compose. He doesn't even really feel like he's writing them. He hears something in his head and then writes it down or searches for it on his guitar. The lyrics follow.
"I don't really write songs," Williams said. "I just write them down. They come to me."
Perry Williams and the Gator Babies will perform right before The Classics from 8:00 - 8:30 p.m. Playing covers and a few original tunes, they are sure to entertain...
"To me it's all about how it makes you feel," Williams said. "If it doesn't make you feel, it's not real music." - Sun News

Bio
“They came here to see you guys.”
Perry Williams is getting accustomed to hearing that.
With a unique sound, a commanding stage presence, and a set list as dynamic as they come, Perry Williams and his right hand man Dale Adams should be accustomed to the compliments. It should come as no surprise that Perry Williams has developed such a great following.
Perry Williams and his band consist of some of the most talented musicians in the region. Williams said when putting together a band that he wanted to be the least talented one of the group. Although humble in his own right, his strategy has worked, as their fusion is nothing short of amazing.
The five member group has rocked in front of crowds as large as 5,000, jamming to popular covers as well as original songs. Perry Williams has been booked in consecutive years for the 4th of July festival in Winchester, KY, opening for “The Classics.”
Together, Perry Williams and Dale Adams (lead guitar) have become a much sought after combination, playing as an acoustic duo in smaller venues. The two continue to be booked monthly at “Hall’s on the River” and “The Waterfront” in Winchester, KY. They are also playing in the "Fourth Street Live" area of Louisville through the summer. This partnership has developed it’s own following, and is available for smaller settings. He and Dale Adams have nearly 40 dates booked this 2008.
Williams has had much success as a singer/songwriter. Perry wrote the music and lyrics for “She Dreams” which has been heard on radio stations in Atlanta, New York and local stations in Kentucky. This single alone has roughly 120,000 of the 402,000 plays on Perry’s myspace page. Perry’s repertoire includes more than 30 original songs. For more samples of his work, please refer to www.myspace.com/perrywilliams.
Whether rocking in front of thousands, or playing at an intimate acoustic venue, Perry Williams and his band are sure to connect with a crowd of any size. Perhaps Perry said it best in his interview with The Sun News, “If it doesn’t make you feel, it’s not music.”
