Dave Perkins - Local Life (2023)

Local Life was put on hold to facilitate Dave’s writing and recording for Chagall Guevara. On the heels of the band’s release of “The Last Amen” and “Halcyon Days,” Local Life is now scheduled for release in early 2023. With Local Life, Dave Perkins again proves himself the kind of artist who never stops reaching for greater heights of conceptual, emotional, and technical excellence. More than anything, it is the storytelling aspect of Local Life–the stories within the story–that make this collection of songs rewarding and memorable. “Trees of Haddonfield,” “Mist of Time,” “Throwaway People.” and “Blue Diamonds Dream (Georgia Girls)” are vignettes in the story of a life lived through the love of music.
