Description:
Gene Perry is an amazing acoustic guitar player/singer/songwriter from the Mackinac Straits area, and can often be seen entertaining in area tourist taverns in the summertime. When in a venue where he can let loose and play what he wants to play, though, Gene plays in an Austin City Limits, unplugged "Americana" style. His original music has thoughtful songwriting and rock and roll attitude, style and themes but he uses traditional bluegrass acoustic sounds to get there, which would not seem a good match but Gene just somehow makes it all work out wonderfully.
