Athcast - Athens Music! show

Summary: The Ruins Adam learned his most important lesson in life so far, three years ago after submitting his first bio for the original Perpetual Groove web site. In his greatest achievements, Adam jokingly listed hiking the Appalachian Trail, which we all know never happened. I mean lets face it, the kid is lazy and there is not a chance in hell he could even do a mile of the AT. Well, incredibly, there were quite a few people who asked, and were disappointed to find out that Adam never did such a thing. Since then, Adam has never lied about anything else. Although Adam spends the majority of his time playing bass for Perpetual Groove, his real passion his is side project The Adam Perry Polka Players. The need to fulfill his love for acting and polka music developed into this tour de force that features a full polka band and a cast of players enacting all of his favorite movie scenes. Currently, they are hard at work adapting some of his favorite video game cinemas to the live stage. The group tours sporadically throughout southern Florida. Adam originates from Cleveland, OH. The home of rock n' roll, or at least the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame. He is the middle child in a line-up of next generation Perry entertainers. His little sister is an actress and his brother plays guitar in the heavy metal act, Red Giant. When not on the road, Adam usually focuses his time on writing and hanging out with his dog Jaco. Once in a blue moon, you may catch him sitting in with Brock somewhere around Savannah. Adam's presence onstage is marked by the often unused microphone stand. Good for quips in between songs and to make general sales announcements, i.e., "Uhhhh, we have some albums for sale....," the microphone rarely sees any additional action. Rumors of a past vocal presence have emerged and been proven by old tapes of Perpetual Groove. The stand is there. The microphone is on. One day, it could happen. We are listening. In the meantime, check out Adam's audio sketchbook.
