Small town boy...big voice

Skip Peri could be easy to miss, his unassuming manner, his shy smile, his easygoing stride. While growing up in small town Carnation, WA, Peri found something big...his voice. That you can''t miss. With the arrival of his debut CD, "Naked," that voice is beginning to get noticed.

Peri''s tunes draw upon the familiar themes of love and loss but infuse them with an energy and intensity that is remarkably honest and poignant. He has a voice that carries his lyrics from the depths of despair to a blistering falsetto.

Recorded mostly in a spare bedroom, "Naked" is the offspring of the music industry''s new breed; a modest, accessible pop record made for peanuts. Skip surrounded himself with people he trusted and proceeded to get the sounds he heard in his head onto disc. He tapped first-time producer Jonathan Kingham to produce and The A-Team (Evan Brubaker & Troy Glessner) to mix. Ironically, despite his small town style, "Naked" has a sound that is decidedly urban.


"Naked" fuses drum loops and tight acoustic guitars with pulsing bass lines to deliver songs that make you both forget and remember at once. From the anthemic opening track ‘You Don''t Know Me Anymore'' to the soft atmospherics of the title track, Skip shifts effortlessly from an angry dismissal to a subtly suggestive come-on. His voice is the focus of his music, his lyrics a balance between poetry and raw emotion. He infuses each song with an energy and intensity that is both compellingly original and achingly familiar. The end result is a musical mash of Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, and Bobby Womack.”
