A colorful medley of rock, pop, heavy guitar blues, and funk.

notes

Reese is the solo project of songwriter, guitarist, and producer, Reese Perkins. This power trio’s blues-rock sound resonates with hints of pop and funk. Their music is a fusion of Jimi Hendrix and Matthew Sweet, accented with creative guitar licks reminiscent of those by John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Although frontman Perkins hails originally from Southwest Louisiana, he has performed as lead guitarist on various projects in Austin, Texas since 1994. Currently rounding out the lineup of the band is Brooke Dyer on bass and Kevin Gathright on drums.

The 2006 release from Reese, Mileage, is a broad collection of songs with a wide dynamic. It features a variety of styles, creative songwriting, and stellar guitar work. In addition to writing all of the music and lyrics on Mileage, Perkins performed all instruments with the exception of drums, produced, engineered, and mixed the album.

Before focusing on his solo career, Reese Perkins performed as lead guitarist and producer for such artists as Wendy Colonna, Rebecca Cole, and Michelle Mayfield. He has shared the stage with a myriad of performers ranging from popular artists like Marc Broussard, Guy Forsyth, Rachel Loy, Bob Schneider, Patricia Vonne, and Casey McPherson to Grammy Award winners like Ray Benson, Shawn Colvin, and Grammy nominee, Tab Benoit. Reese has performed on the Austin City Limits television stage, at the Austin City Limits Festival, and at the South by Southwest Festival.

Reese is currently performing in Austin, Texas and surrounding regions. For more information, photos, and the full tour schedule, please visit www.reesemusic.com or www.myspace.com/reesemusic for details.

    author: becca

    Reese Perkins has worn many hats, but at heart he is a fabulous guitar player. His distinctive style draws from Hendrix and Vaughn, among others. Perkins has honed his own sound and graced many songs with his solos. With the release of "Mileage" listeners finally have the privilege of hearing Reese as the complete package:, songwriter, vocalist and producer. A listening pleasure!

  • The hooks are addictive and you'll be singing them all day in your head...
    author: RYAN HAY

    The best indy artist in Austin, hands down. The melodies are fresh and new, and the chorus and hooks are addictive! You'll find yourself singing them in your head all day long. It has not come out of my cd changer since it came out.

  • Great mixture
    author: Darla (Mika)

    No need to worry about all the songs sounding the same......there's a good blend and a little something for everybody. Personally, I like the grungy, bluesy cuts. Good guitar work!

    author: alexandra

    if you've ever seen reese play live, you'll love mileage!!! i listen to his cd on my commute to austin and any song on it could be a single--no fillers here...however, electric booty is definitely a favorite.

  • This guy should be signed!

    This CD is one of the best CDs EVER! The song Of the Two of Us is one of my favorite songs now. I would recommend this CD to ANYONE who just has an appreciation for music. Rock on Reese! -Whitney Rae
