With over 130 different festivals around Australia and still just 23 years old, this hardworking young musician is certainly blazing a hot trail through the countries vibrant industry. Outside of the hectic festival season, Richard Perso is playing shows in different venues all over the country. While he doesn't seem to have enough arms, legs or lungs to pull off such a physically demanding performance, that doesn't stop this multi-tasking male from playing 3 didgeridoos, driving a weapons cache of 4 over driven acoustic guitars, somehow managing to replace the roll of a drummer with little more than his 2 feet and singing with a voice that sits somewhere between Barry White and Eddie Vedder. In the November and December of 2009, after a massive start to the festival season, Richard recorded his debut album in New York and returned in May of 2010 to complete a 6 week tour of the North-East of the U.S.A and the South-East of Canada. Perso has a developed sound that blends Australian cultural heritage with blues, roots, rock and folk. It's quite an achievement for someone who picked up the guitar at the age of 13 and started playing by the age of 15. Just back from recording his second album in New York in September 2012 and 2 tours for Canada in February and again in July 2013 the world never stops for a musician describing his life as "Living the Dream".
