Rain Perry’s “Beautiful Tree” was the theme for the CW Network’s Life Unexpected, on which she also had the surreal pleasure of appearing as herself. She has released four albums on her own Precipitous Records, as well as writing and touring a solo play about her childhood called Cinderblock Bookshelves: A Guide For Children of Fame-Obsessed Bohemian Nomads. In 2016 she directed The Shopkeeper, her first film. "Let's Be Brave," her new album about the fire, real and metaphorical, comes out April 26th.

Guitarist in KCMO - rock, blues and jazz.  Currently guitarist of Thunder Jacket.

Where have I been? I've been hanging out on the fringes of Folk Music for years. I have been singing in small venues and writing my own songs since 1976!  Sometimes in the company of other "well-knowns" like Chuck Pyle, Tom Rush, John Denver, and Utah Phillips. So I'll ask it again....where have I been all this time. I chose another path for a while. A PhD and career as a wildlife biologist, raising a family of three (now grown) sons, until 2014.   I blew the whistle on my boss, got fired, got divorced, moved to the small Colorado mountain town of Nederland with my kids, and started writing, performing, recording, and touring full-time. Life has never been better. I learned anew, what I had long-forgotten; that sharing my music with audiences was my "soul".
