Yvonne Perea
has been playing guitar and writing songs since the tender age of 8
-- true, she makes it look easy, but many years have gone into
perfecting her craft! Over the past 10 years, she has released
four albums of original material: her first album, Knowing This
Path (1996), seemed to predict where she would be going in
her life, both as a woman and as a musician; it plots a very personal
journey. Tomorrow's Day (1999) began as a demo
project of a few songs, but demand for another CD of her original
music persuaded Yvonne to release it as an acoustic album. So,
it became her "unplugged" project -- just guitars and her
searing voice. Her next album, My Peace (2002),
truly captures for the first time Yvonne's multi-dimensional talent
and sound that defy a compartmentalized genre. It is a project
representative of her maturity as an artist and as a person--
combining upbeat, bluesy tracks with warm, full ballads and something
in between.
Her current
album, Mudpies, has finally been released. A
"mudpie" is a collection of mud, water, bugs, grass, rocks
and anything else you can imagine as a child. This album, Mudpies,
is a colorful collection of fun times, sad times, love and life.
Produced, once again, by Matt Bissonette, Mudpies
has landed.
After hearing
Yvonne's music or watching her perform, most come away with the
feeling that they have really seen a glimpse of Yvonne's soul.
In her own genuine and real way, she writes her heart into her songs. |
