Perhapsy is playing this Saturday at the Festival of Faith and Music in Grand Rapids, MI. They will be playing alongside David Bazan, The Hold Steady, Lupe Fiasco, Over the Rhine and many more!. We are very proud to have them be apart of this prestigious festival.
The Culture of Me showed Perhapsy some love this week:
Dense and delicate songs that seem to meander until their end, Ann Arbor-born by way of Mansfield, Ohio Derek Barber aka Perhapsy pours layers upon layers of instruments (from the token guitar, bass and drums, to glockenspiel, saxophone, accordions and keys) in his debut effort, a mostly-instrumental experiment in somberness and hope.
We are back home from the always wild SXSW Festival. It was a great time and Max Justus had a great set. The Lose Control Party at Canvas was pretty much always packed and had a line around the block. Luckily Max played Friday night between Casio Kids and The Golden Filter. They two of the hottest bands at the festival and everybody was packed in tight while Max was playing. The photos should give you an idea of what the crowd was like at Lose Control. Thanks if you came out.
Next week is SXSW and we are really exited to get down to Austin. Max will be at the Lose Control Party. We are also trying to work out some other shows so keep an eye on my twitter if you are in Austin.

We are all very excited about the upcoming Perhapsy record that we are releasing in May. This will be the first release from Derek as Perhapsy but he is a label veteran. You have heard his guitar work on The Winston Jazz Routine and Every Gentle Air records we have released so you should be more the familiar. We have added our favorite track from the record The Bow Song to our player on the right. Also this Month’s Song of The Month is a new demo Derek was nice enough to send over.
