On this episode, we are joined by Nate Perry from the Boston Americana band Nate Perry & Ragged Company, who tells us how his bands rise in the Boston music scene...

Nate Perry Brief Bio
After leaving the Army in 2018, Nate Perry came back to Boston with a new goal: start a band. He’d spent time near Nashville, soaking up the live music scene, and realized that making music was what he really wanted to do.Back home, he linked up with guitarist Mike Chandler, whose old band had just wrapped up, and the two started jamming. Soon after, drummer Sam Demello, bassist Connor Milligan, and keyboardist Ollie Nash joined in—and Nate Perry & Ragged Company was born.

Since then, they’ve been making waves around Boston with their high-energy Americana-rock sound. Their 2024 debut EP, The Otherside of Everything, quickly pulled in over 10,000 streams.

It’s the story of a guy who traded military life for music—and ended up building a band that’s really starting to take off.‬
