Nate Perry & Ragged Company - "Tonight"

Nate Perry & Ragged Company were one of the biggest and most surprising discoveries for us at this year's Boston Calling. The Boston Americana outfit blew away everyone lucky enough to see them on the Orange Stage, and if you missed them, they just released a new single sure to clue you in on how great they are. "Tonight" is the definition of country-rock. It has all of the twang you need in a country song but with a rock edge and a fantastic guitar solo to boot. The band also injects some vocal harmonies that are sure to suck you in, along with some of the best written lyrics to come out of Boston this year. Plus, Perry's vocals have this amazing quality that is equal parts grit and smooth. 

Nate Perry says of his latest single:

“It was a fun song to write and it’s a fun song to play. The creativity that went into the whole song really illustrates how much we've been cooking lately. This song is a reminder that this band can blow the roof of the building. It pulls us away from the traditional sound of Americana and towards a harder alt-rock sound while providing the raw rock and roll emotion that we've always delivered.”

You can listen to "Tonight" below. Nate Perry & Ragged Company will have a new EP out later this summer. For more on the band, check them out on Instagram. They'll also be playing the New England Americana Festival this Sunday (June 29) at Bellforge Arts Center in Medfield, MA.
