SEE YOU AROUND BABY
When asked about
the artist she has grown into, UK Devon, Exeter based Roni (Perry) asserts that Elvis Presley always taught her
to sing.
Raised on a
musical diet that consisted on Tammy Wynette, Johnny Cash and Dolly
Parton, country music has always been in her blood. However, through her
teenage years and into adult life, the eclectic artistry and raw honesty
of Bonnie Raitt and Stevie Nicks have resonated with her, and been a
huge influence on her own songwriting.
While she many have taken a hiatus from performance international stage, Roni kept performing in her local area and focused her energies on writing extensively. Now armed with in excess of 90 songs, Roni is in the planning stages of an album, which she teases with the release of the rather lush Baby Bird. With her close friend, the multi-Award winning Sarah Jory accompanying her on her fledgling outing, Roni is perfectly placed to return to the music scene full-time.
Following the acclaim of her single Baby Bird, Roni returns
with her new full-length album SEE YOU
AGAIN BABY, which is her most touching to date.
Of the record she says:
'The album is a 12 track long, laid bare gritty cocktail of bluesy acoustic
Country/Rock.
It contains some old and popular songs from my back catalogue plus several from recent writing sessions. I wanted to show the more genre crossing nature of my songwriting which shows [I hope] some versatility, having influences from so many different kinds of music.
I am aware that people struggle to pigeon hole me, which can be a great thing to have!
It was co-produced by my now ex-husband during our separation which was incredibly difficult! He wishes to remain out of the picture.
I played all the instruments except for lead guitar solo in ‘Kinda Late’ and lap slide in ‘Gravity’ .... all compositions solely by me along with all harmonies... It is truly a solo album!!'

A
5-track collection NOTHING LESS THAN
THIS (Amazon UK | Bandcamp | UKCountryRadio.com Store), released in May
2016, which marked Roni's return from a break from music and a move into the
country/Americana genre. Includes the single "Baby Bird”.
According to UKCountryRadio.com Roni "continues
to forge ahead" with her debut country music single “Baby Bird”.
