Nobody Cares (Live Track)

Nobody Cares

"The songwriting of Perry Desmond-Davies never stands on ceremony. She writes from the heart and mind about the ups and downs of everyday life that carry the weight of honest experience. Desmond-Davies' voice is unadulterated and pure, cut from the same working class cloth as artists such as Pete Seeger, Tom Waits and even a bit of early Janis Joplin.
She plays working class hero on Sweet Ride, sticking to the basics of everyday life and the human condition; drawing the joy and pain of small victories and subtle defeats out into the open in song. She is a story-teller who writes songs, or a songwriter who tells-stories. It's hard to say which comes first, as the two talents blend thoroughly throughout Sweet Ride. A Sweet Ride it is." 
- Wildy Haskell, Wildy's World 


"There are few people I know that have a voice that can hush the loudest room and the songs to back it up. Perry Desmond-Davies is one of those talents. She's one of my favorite people to see on stage live, and you'd do yourself a favor to check her out too."
Dan Cloutier, Singer-Songwriter,Host:Amazing Things Open Mike - Host Review

Perry's original songs relate experiences in life, relationships, work, even serious illness. Her distinctive voice ties the words and music together: always tender, lyric and melodic, at times soaring, seductive or smoky.  Says a fan: "Perry's voice and songs are pure and powerful; they touch unguarded parts of the listener, filling us with joy, nostalgia and longing. Once you hear Perry Desmond-Davies, you will never confuse her with anyone else. "

Perry began performing on the New England coffeehouse scene as a teenager, then stashed away the music to focus on career and family. She returned to her musical roots a few years later, and has been sharing her voice and songs with happy listeners ever since.
Perry was a finalist in Portsmouth, NH’s Prescott Park Arts and Acoustic Festival Emerging Singer-Songwriter competition, and was chosen as one of ten finalists selected nation-wide for the 2011 Susquehanna Music Fest in Havre de Grace, MD. She recently performed for the second consecutive year on the Wachusett Valley Folk Festival's Showcase stage. She has also hosted several successful coffeehouses and open mikes, including The Gathering Place(Nashua, NH), The Pleasant Café Open Mike(Maynard, MA), and a Boston-area based “Unplugged” monthly music series.
Perry's first recording, "This One's for You", is from a live performance at Simple Gifts Coffeehouse in Nashua, NH. In addition to her heartfelt original compositions, Perry's unique tributes to John Prine’s "Angel From Montgomery", Gillian Welch’s "Orphan Girl", and a scorching rendition of the classic "House of the Rising Sun" had the audience of 100 joining in with their own harmonies and percussion as well. Her a capella encore will bring tears to your eyes...
Sweet Ride, her newest release, is a full length studio album that has been described as: "an inspired, addictive mix of folk, blues, bluegrass and a capella, all driven by an exceptionally beautiful voice."
The 12 original songs (and three live bonus tracks) continue to receive wide acclaim and constant airplay across the US, UK and Canada. The title track was recently featured on NPR Car Talk's Christmas show!!
Sweet Ride and This One's for You are both available for purchase and digital download (per track or whole album) right here on her website, and also at CDBaby, ITunes, Amazon MP3, CDFreedom, Rhapsody, and many other online distributors.
You can also view Perry's video clips from recent performances on YouTube...it's a sweet, SWEET ride 'round here!
