Boston alternative Americana band that releases the CD edition The Otherside Of Everything

We recently had the opportunity to check out the debut EP “The Otherside Of Everything”from Boston based alternative Americana band Nate Perry &Ragged Company. You can listen to “The Otherside Of Everything “ Here

We can’t believe we are late to the party with Nate Perry & Ragged Company… “The Otherside Of Everything “ is that perfectly poured glass of beer and the perfect sunset all rolled into one but… set to music.

The CD release of The Otherside of Everything, produced by Brian Charles at Rare Signals in Cambridge, surfaces ahead of two choice festival gigs fast on the horizon: An appearance at Thrive Music Festival on September 20 with GA-20 and Crooked Coast; and a show at Team Haverhill’s River Ruckus alongside KT Tunstall and The 502s on September 21.   

The five tracks on the EP act like mini-chapters of an overarching storyline of finding your way through life and the people you meet along the way: The urgent enchantment and upbeat thrust of lead track “Maria”; the twang-driven gallop of “All I Need”; a raw country glow in “Another Day”; the radio-ready pop-leaning euphoria of “Evergreens”; and a soulful spin around Southern blues in “Preacher.” The EP’s title, The Otherside of Everything, reflects Perry’s life after the Army, and the crazy years that have followed. And as the band’s vocalist and guitarist, he’s ready to present these stories to the listener. 

There is this real familiar feel on the EP that really makes the listener feel connected to the music . We found ourselves almost singing along instantly.

“Every song I write is a true story of mine, in one way or another,” admits Perry. “Entirely self-reflective and a bit confessional. Each song is about my life and specifically the last five years or so after the Army. These aren’t songs about partying or anything, and I’m also not claiming to be a genius writer, but I hope they hear the stories and find some common ground with us.” 

So do your music loving heart a favor and check out “The Otherside of Everything” from Nate Perry & Ragged Company .
