As much as I enjoy Elvis Perkins' recordings, his live show was better....my wife and I can hardly wait to see him again. After the show, Mr. Perkins was signing autographs on his cds, cassettes (yes, he has cassettes), and records...he even posed for photos with fans.

About Elvis Perkins
Elvis Perkins has released three full-length collections of songs, two under his own name (Ash Wednesday ('07 XL Recordings) & I Aubade ('15 MIR) and one under the band name Elvis Perkins in Dearland ('09 XL Recordings). The band with whom he has toured extensively also released the six-track Doomsday EP in 2009 (XL).
In recent years Elvis has made two film scores: I Am the Pretty Thing the Lives in the House (Netflix, '16) and The Blackcoat's Daughter (A24 '17). A soundtrack album for the latter was released via Death Waltz Recording Co. in 2017. His single, There Go the Nightmericans ('17), with the help of Revolutions Per Minute directs all proceeds to The Emergent Fund which supports communities most threatened by Trump administration policy.
Perkins spent much of 2018 & 2019 touring the world in the Beth Morrison Productions theater piece HOME, a large-scale theatrical work for which he wrote the music and in which he also appeared. A visual physical spectacle, HOME combines dance, illusion, live music, home-spun engineering, and an inventive use of audience interaction.
His most recent album Creation Myths was produced by Sam Cohen and released in October of 2020.
The LP makes subtle nods to Americana and spooky, blissed-out folk, but never lights for too long on any one spot. If there is a lyrical or thematic through-line to Creation Myths, it might simply be a longing for connection, be it romantic or spiritual. Perkins notes, “Sometimes you do the best things when you don’t know what you’re doing yet. I called this record Creation Myths because, in a way, I really don't know how these songs came into being. So they are the explanation of themselves.”
