The Homemade Jamz Blues Band got its start in Baumholder, Germany, when military dad Renaud Perry
came home with a Stratocaster replica (guitar) and young Ryan,
discovered it. A week later, Ryan composed a short instrumental tune and
performed it at his school’s talent show. By the time the family
returned to Tupelo, Mississippi, Ryan had found his passion…music.
After listening to B.B. King, Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan then
trying his best to emulate them Ryan emerged a blues artist with
skyrocketing talent. Two years later, little brother Kyle, wanted in on
the action. After first trying piano, Kyle settled in on the bass
learning for himself the nuances of the instrument and its role in the
blues sound. Soon he was out on the concert circuit performing with his
brother. Not long afterwards seven-year-old Taya locked in on the blues
vibe. Already playing tambouring, Taya situated herself on the stool
behind a drum set and in two months was holding down the beats behind
her big brothers Ryan and Kyle. Ryan’s gruff vocals, visceral stinging
guitar licks, Kyle’s solid rumble and Taya’s cool-bare-footed stomp have
electrified millions around the world. Making Homemade Jamz Blues
Band “a trifecta” in the blues world!
The Homemade Jamz Blues Band performs the blues with the confidence of
knowing their Mississippi history, firsthand, redirecting the love, hard
times, betrayal and strife into their music. How do they do it? They
“connect” with the ancestral sounds…it are hardwired within them. They
know the blues…it comes naturally from their souls. The The Homemade
Jamz Blues Band are: Ryan Perry (19) vocals/guitars, Kyle Perry (17) bass and Taya Perry (13) drums.

“In my 82 years, I’ve never seen something musically…so remarkable. These young kids have got energy, talent and do the blues proud with their own flavor. I believe they’ve got a GREAT future ahead.”
