Perry Danos

Perry Danos hails from Chicago, where the blues went electric, and where, to this day, a boundless variety of sounds echoes through the city streets – from rock, blues and jazz to R&B, country and the Symphony. Reflections of that potent musical mix shine through his new jazz release, Swingin’ on the Moon (GrandVista Music, Nashville, TN). The new disc is the latest achievement in a multifaceted, multi-city career.
Into his thirties, Perry could be found playing nightclubs and a variety of other venues for the Windy City’s multi-cultured audience. “Chicago is filled with ‘good timin’, working class people who just have a different hunger for music,” Danos says. “They’re not a ‘listening’ audience, they’re an interactive crowd of movers and shakers.”
Ministering to the city's diverse community of music lovers, Perry fused his Greek heritage with his love of the classics of American song, becoming the polished, exciting jazz singer he is today, expert at satisfying the tastes of even the most fastidious music connoisseurs.
