"A show in himself." -Noel Mengel The Courier Mail Australia
"A fascinating mixture of blues, Americana, and ragtime." -Robert Silverstein 20th Century Guitar Magazine
"Guitarist Hunter Perrin, rounding out this powerhouse band, is a young player who is winning international plaudits for his playing, which can be anything from rock and roll to classical guitar. He's done considerable film and soundtrack work as well as recording his own albums. He's rapidly making his mark. So folks, keep your ears open for some hot licks and delicious playing." -Sleuth Times & Transcript
"Hunter Perrin's guitar technique is nearly innate-he seems to be several bars ahead of what we are hearing, giving the music a chance to express itself through him." -Dale Robinson, New Haven Register
"A cool looking rockabilly guitarist." -Toronto Sun

Born into a musical family in Texas, Hunter was exposed to a wide variety of influences. Outlaw country, conjunto, Czech dancehall, classical, blues, and rock & roll all played on the family station wagon's 8-track.
The result was a childhood filled with music in garages, barns, burger joints and gymnasiums. While still in high school, Hunter started a blues band with his uncle and played the Texas club circuit. He decided on music full time and so began seven years of intense study, everywhere from concert halls to dive bars.
He resurfaced as an awarded classical guitarist with degrees from both the University of Texas and the Yale School of Music. He released two solo guitar records: Hunter Perrin and Subtitles .
Hunter then moved to New York and formed rock & roll band Hi-Five. He also began working as a film composer and session musician. Two years later, he moved to Los Angeles and did a four-year stint touring and recording with John Fogerty. Over the past few years, he's started three bands: Thunderado, Bandito Royale, and Le Flashcube.
