Bill Perry Orchestra
In 1984, Matt Houston approached Bill Perry with the idea of starting a group using Bill Perry's name. Bill Perry liked the idea but only if he can be involved. So he began doing improv music at First and Main and also Tha Hardback in Gainesville(6). Over the past years they have opened up for or been on the same bill as Marilyn Manson, Urge Overkill, The Vulgar Boatmen, The Silos, James Brown, and Medski, Martin and Wood. Though the band has had many members they have remained as a family of friends over the years(7). In 2003 Bill Perry moved to the West Palm Beach area and continued performing. In 2010, Perry is moving back to Gainsville to continue working with some of his past bandmates.
