CINDERBLOCK BOOKSHELVES:

A GUIDE FOR CHILDREN OF FAME-OBSESSED BOHEMIAN NOMADS

Starring Rain Perry, with Danny B. Harvey on Guitar

Growing up in the 1960s, Rain Perry had the kind of childhood your grandparents warn you against. Was it a tragic experience? Not really: Perry survived, and along the way grew up to be an award-winning singer/songwriter. Now with characteristic good humor she performs a theater show about her upbringing, has some fun with her hippie past, and also gives audiences a chance to hear in song (and see in photographs) exactly what it felt like -- the joy and heartache of growing up a “wild child.”

"Part of a larger autobiographical multimedia project, singer-writer Perry's astoundingly insightful song cycle takes on subjects ranging from growing up with an artistic but irresponsible father (the title track and several others) to the emotional impact of California's landscape ('Yosemite'). This is confessional folk-rock at its best: wise, specific, sometimes harrowing, funny in places, smart about personal mistakes and truly grateful to those who made her the fine artist that she is (whether they consciously helped her along or not). Each cut has a distinctive, pleasing arrangement, and Perry's voice, though dominantly sweet and wearily dry, is a marvelous instrument of many supple colors." --Bob Strauss, LA Daily News
