Lynch Park Concert Series: Nate Perry & Ragged Company - 3:00-5:00pm
After leaving the Army in 2018, frontman Nate Perry returned to the Boston area with a new mission: to start a band. Stationed near Nashville, Perry had initially focused on a military career, but his time in Kentucky and Tennessee reignited his long-held passion for music. During his time off, he immersed himself in Nashville’s live music scene, captivated by the musicians on stage who were living the dream he longed to pursue.
Back in Boston, Nate soon connected with guitarist Mike Chandler, a seasoned player whose previous band had recently disbanded. Together, they began shaping a new musical direction. To complete the lineup, they brought in drummer Sam Demello, bassist Connor Milligan, and keyboardist Ollie Nash. This collaboration birthed Nate Perry & Ragged Company, a dynamic new force in the Americana-rock scene.
Since forming, Nate Perry & Ragged Company have been lighting up the Boston music scene and beyond, playing shows that highlight their infectious songwriting and electric guitar-driven sound. In 2024, they released their debut EP, “The Otherside of Everything,” which rapidly garnered over 10,000 streams, a testament to their growing popularity.
Nate Perry’s journey from the Army to concert stages is a testament to the power of finding and following one’s passion, turning the muse of Nashville into the sounds of a rising Boston band.
