Career Achievements
Rain Perry’s “Beautiful Tree” is the theme for the CW Network’s “Life Unexpected,” where she also had the surreal pleasure of appearing as herself in a music festival episode alongside Sarah McLachlan and Ben Lee. Rain is a Grand Prize winner of both the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and the ROCKRGRL Discoveries Competition, as well as a Telluride Troubadour finalist.
She has released four albums on her own Precipitous Records, as well as writing and touring a solo play about her unusual childhood called “Cinderblock Bookshelves: A Guide For Children of Fame-Obsessed Bohemian Nomads.”
A high point: hearing Nanci Griffith’s sweet voice on Tom Russell’s version of her song “Yosemite.” A not-so-high point: when it made the radio EP but not the album.
In addition to her career as a singer-songwriter, Rain also promotes concerts in Ojai and teaches songwriting, specializing in classes for people who harbor a secret desire to write songs but need encouragement and tools. She also hosts bi-monthly “Secret Songwriter Suppers,” where she serves a meal and performs a show on a theme.
Professional Goals
To continue to write, record and perform the best songs she can, and seek placements for them in film and TV and with other artists.
