Most of us know the importance of honesty and integrity. Perley Curtis is no stranger to these words either, as nothing but a pure honest love for traditional country music flows from this gentleman’s songs. Curtis is not a native of the south, however, while growing up in Maine, the young Curtis developed a love of country music and its legends like Buck Owens, Merle Haggard and Loretta Lynn. After picking up a guitar at age eight, he played his first paying gig when he was just nine years old – at his uncle’s wedding reception.

In the years following, Curtis performed in bluegrass bands throughout New England then moved to Nashville in 1988. Since his move to Music City, this singer/songwriter/musician has performed in bands of his own and has also earned a reputation as a skilled Dobro and steel guitarist, performing with artists such as: Loretta Lynn, Connie Smith, Johnny Paycheck, Del Reeves, Becky Hobbs, Holly Dunn, The Reno Brothers, Trace Adkins and Charlie Louvin. Curtis feels that moving to Nashville was the definite turning point in his career, “All of my greatest accomplishments happened after I moved to Nashville.”
