Send us Fan Mail Adam Perry, Hunter Stone, Fred "Freddy" Reisen, and Jason Patton join forces outside of their Neil Young/Bob Dylan tribute group…
My name is Adam Perry, and I am a longtime, you know, Boulder area drummer who plays with Clay Rose of Gasoline Lollipops and Rolling Harvest, Hunter Stone, and now this new group, Dear Credence.
There might be some, but Hunter's voice is just so gritty and bluesy and authentic in the way that the four of us are able to convey these amazing songs.
And it's just, it's kind of different from Rolling Harvest does Bob Dylan and Neil Young and there's such an appreciation for those people and those songs and the aura around Dylan and Neil Young and everything that they mean as people and songwriters and yet neither of those artists have many like hits you know and so it's fun and we definitely have our raging rolling harvest shows at the Gold Hill Inn and other places but Credence is just songs that everybody knows and loves and starts dancing and singing along to immediately.
And it's funny because there's not as much of an appreciation or a reverence for John Fogerty.
He's not this, like, figure beyond reproach, you know, the way that a Bob Dylan or a Neil Young are.
But it's so much fun to play those songs, and the response is just immediate from people.
And I find it interesting because, yeah, we've talked about Rolling Harvest before, and now we're doing Dear Credence.
What is fun for you guys about tribute bands specifically? Is there something that makes you really gravitate towards those kind of groups? You know, Hunter Stone, more than anyone I've ever played with,
I've played the drums in some really well-known bands that I love, you know, like the Yoppers and Gasoline Lollipops.
But honestly, Hunter's albums that he's made, his original stuff, those are the only albums of anybody I've ever played with, even though I wasn't on them.
but i don't know like i definitely frowned upon playing in a tribute band or even the idea of playing in a tribute band for many years and then the pandemic happened and i remember just thinking people want to have fun and they don't want as much of that energy of like convincing you that you're great and important and you're going to make it, you know, that kind of thing.
