Nate Perry & Ragged Company deliver an absolutely blazing new single, “Tonight” and we can’t stop singing and dancing along. You can listen to “Tonight” Here .

It has been an absolute whirlwind for Nate Perry & Ragged Company, as of late .Boston Calling, over Memorial Day weekend, where they showcased several songs from a pair of EPs: last spring’s debut The Otherside of Everything, and the forthcoming Till The Well Runs Dry. They were also featured on WCVB’s Chronicle and CBS Boston /  WBZ-TV’s Road To Boston Calling special. 

Now they offer up the electrifying new single, “Tonight” Not only does “Tonight” lead off Nate Perry & Ragged Company’s new EP, set for release this summer, but it provides a slightly more aggressive feel than euphoric May single “Count on You”

Continuing to showcase the Boston collective’s blossoming spectrum of country- and roots-tinged alternative rock, “Tonight” cranks up the bluesy intensity and revs the band’s creative engine, with enough energy to appeal to the rock and roll scene and just enough twang to keep the Americana crowd honest. 

“It was a fun song to write and it’s a fun song to play,” says vocalist, guitarist, and band leader Perry. “The creativity that went into the whole song really illustrates how much we’ve been cooking lately. This song is a reminder that this band can blow the roof of the building. It pulls us away from the traditional sound of Americana and towards a harder alt-rock sound while providing the raw rock and roll emotion that we’ve always delivered.”

“Tonight” is precisely the perfect musical jolt to send your summer into high gear. The next level musicianship from Nate Perry& Ragged Company , rises to the occasion to provide an absolute gem that will continue to shine long after the music fades .

“Tonight” has also emerged as a live favorite, just as the young band embraces a series of summer gigs. The first arrives a day after the release of “Tonight,” at the 2025 New England Americana Festival on June 28 at Bellforge Arts Center in Medfield, an all-day, outside, and free 14-band collection of New England’s rising talent. 

From there, the itinerary takes Nate Perry and the boys all around Massachusetts for the summer, performing live at the Veterans Rock Music Festival in Hyannis on July 19; the Bradford Common Music Series in Haverhill on July 31; Lobsterfest in Beverly on August 6; Levitate Backyard in Marshfield on August 23; and The Cut in Gloucester on September 20

Perry and the band – rounded out by Sam DeMello on drums; Connor Milligan on bass and backing vocals; Ollie Nash on keys and backing vocals; and Mike Chandler on lead guitar – get fired up every time “Tonight” comes up on the setlist. 

“It’s a blast,” he admits. “As soon as the count for the intro starts, we all get a shot of adrenaline and for the next few minutes the band runs wild. It comes out of the gate at full speed. It’s maybe our highest-energy song and the emotions behind it are unique to the rest of our work.” 

Whether live or on the recording, “Tonight,” which was produced by Brian Charles at Rare Signals in Cambridge, Massachusetts, tends to catch the listener by surprise and manages to hold interest through its nearly-four-minute duration, as an impassioned Perry unleashes his emotions as they roar out of the speakers. 

Nate Perry & Ragged Company, are a musical tour de force that can’t be ignored. “Tonight” is an absolute gem.
