Matt Perrone & His Real Band

Overview

Born and raised in New Jersey, Matt Perrone is a singer/songwriter with an eclectic writing style. With his rock mentality and pop-hook style, Perrone is flipping today's music on its side. Not being tied to any one genre, Perrone appeals to all ages with a sound of his own and influences ranging from Bruce Springsteen to Gin Blossoms to Billy Joel. "It's been a long and wild journey to get to where I am," says Perrone. Over 10 years since his debut release SOMETHING I WANTED, Perrone has traveled the U.S. performing at such famed venues including the Roxy Theater and CBGB. After an appearance on LIVE! with Regis & Kelly promoting his song "Fantasy (Kelly Ripa song)" and touring the East coast, Perrone moved to Los Angeles. In 2006, after releasing WITH OR WITHOUT YOU which contained the hit "...And I Pray", Perrone relocated to Charlotte, NC. In 2010, Perrone released MAKE BELIEVE which included the crowd favorites, "See You Next Tuesday" and “Time to Go”. 2011 was a big year for (the real) Matt Perrone; he opened for Pat McGee Band and shared the stage with Keith Urban. On January 31, 2012, Matt Perrone released SEASONS, his most ambitious CD to date. Lyrically, SEASONS tells the story of one man's ups and downs over the course of a year. With the help of his Kickstarter backers, Perrone was able to work with some excellent musicians and producers including Brian Fechino of the Pat McGee Band. SEASONS gives the listeners songs such as "Fall Out of Love" and "Must Be Me” which have Perrone's trademark sound while songs like "Through My Eyes" and "Deserve Me" show his growth.
