Originally from Southern California, Perkins a singer-songwriter now lives in Copenhagen. He was lead vocalist for the L.A. based Power Pop band The Sneaks (early 80′s videos can be found on YouTube) before settling into a solo career. Over the years, he’s worked with legendary musical figures like Burt Bacharach, Joni Mitchell, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills and Jackson Browne. For the last several years Perkins is responsible for presenting the annual Copenhagen Songwriters Festival.

Perkins sums up his philosophy, “I believe music truly is an international language of the soul, and feel deeply fortunate to have discovered and developed a life based in pursuing my own expression, intuition and free spirited living, while offering others the encouragement and opportunity to do the same”.
