Al Perez is a captivating singer/songwriter and soulful performer. His seven-member live band has thrilled audiences for over a decade at festivals, corporate events, and clubs around the USA, Mexico, Jamaica, Bahamas, Costa Rica, and Aruba. Perez’s new singles “Love Revolution,” “Let The Player Play,” and “Women Powers” have received support on numerous playlists and press outlets (see Press section). Soul&Jazz&Funk notes, “Al avoids the inherent saccharine and his declarations of love are the more convincing for that.” The singles are part of Al’s “Love Revolution” album available on Warrior Records.
Al performs music that has been described as something for everyone with tones ranging from light rock to R&B — with a singer-songwriter flair and just a touch of Latin for flavoring. Whether Al is playing solo or on a full-band festival, corporate event, or club, he performs all the fan-favorite covers, as well as his own original music. As The Columbian noted, “The soulful sounds from Al’s acoustic guitar and his seven-piece band backing him are masterfully woven.” Perez has been performing around the northwest music scene since 1997 and over the course of his career has self-released three albums. His first in ’97 entitled “Travlinman” was recorded at S.I. Studios in Portland, Oregon. This was followed with 2000’s ”Finally“ which received both local and national play with the songs ”Millennium” and “Under my Skin,” and his 2003 third release “Next,” included fan favorites “Come and Get It” and “Be with Me.”
Many of Al’s original songs have been featured on Portland’s KINK radio and the band has performed live in the KINK Lounge on numerous occasions. Al has also been featured on local Channel 6 News and interviewed/performed live on KRLL in Bend, Oregon. Perez’s prowess as an artist and songwriter caught the attention of Warrior Records’ president, Jim Ervin. This led to the 2020 record and publishing deal for Perez and the production of his new album “Love Revolution” for the label released on August 5th. “We’re happy to be working with Al and look forward to making his newest material available soon,” said Ervin. In the meantime, Perez’s three album back catalog has been released by Warrior both digitally and physically, including various playlist adds on both Spotify and Deezer including Summer Hits 2023, Top Playlist, Hottest Tracks of the Year, Kingz Playlist, Must Listens and many more.
