**Michael Perry and the Long Beds** feature all-original songs written and sung by Michael Perry (New York Times bestselling author of numerous books including: Population 485, Truck, The Scavengers, and Visiting Tom). Perry began writing music in the early 1990s as a way to break up all-night typing sessions when he was struggling to survive on prose. Eventually a musician friend invited him to play a coffee shop gig. “I’m not saying I was nervous, but I cranked out a sixty-minute set list in thirty-two minutes flat,” says Perry. Since then Michael has released 4 albums, several singles, and toured backed by a collection of renowned musicians who have performed on numerous stages throughout the world (including The Tonight Show, Austin City Limits, and Eaux Claires festival) and worked with a host of artists, including **Bon Iver, S. Carey, The Staves, Miley Cyrus, Lizzo, Field Report, The Tallest Man on Earth, Jimmie Dale Gilmore**, and many more. Every Long Beds show is built on roughneck ballads and freight train rockers interspersed with hilarious off-the-cuff tales from Mike’s diverse experience as a Wisconsin farm kid turned cowboy turned nurse turned best selling author and humorist (as featured on the recent PBS special Michael Perry: On the Road). Michael Perry resides with his family on a small farm in rural Wisconsin.
