‘Purple Tree’ is the retro rock movement for the new century. Incorporating influences from the 60’s and 70’s, together with vintage keyboards, this music has been described by listeners as "British Sounding", and even "Pink Floyd meets Julian Lennon". ‘Purple Tree’s lyrics are masterful and enlightening with a sharp message involving love, life, and politics. The project has an eclectic sound appeasing to several ages and genres while ignoring popular categories and labels. The history of ‘Purple Tree’ begins through the talents of David Perry. David’s the architect of ‘Purple Tree’, weaving life within the sound and lyrics of these tracks. In 1996 Perry began as an acoustic performer but later blossomed into what he calls the ‘Purple Tree’, interweaving his solo act into this larger scale masterpiece, hiring outside musicians as needed for live performance. David’s talents also include the ability to produce his own work in the studio, thus allowing him the creative freedom to craft his sound as he envisions it. ‘Purple Tree’ became popularized throughout the Chicago-Land area by means of live performance. The project moved to the east coast for two years introducing its sound to a responsive New York City fan base, established through internet and word of mouth. ‘Purple Tree’ has been seen in such New York clubs as ‘Arlene’s Grocery’, ‘Crash Mansion’, and ‘Fat Baby’ to name a few. These clubs have been well recognized and continue to be the launching point for many new and seasoned artists alike. After the foundation for this project was laid out in the ‘big apple’, David decided to again plant his roots in the Metro-Chicago area where he continues to create this unique style of music.
