Boston shivered during its annual December freeze, but the patrons within the at-capacity Paradise Lounge held cold glasses and bottles to their flushed faces. Chad Perrone looked over the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd with a smile and leaned into the microphone.
"This has been a hell of a year," the hometown singer-songwriter sang, eliciting cheers of approval from the audience. "I couldn't be happier."
2006 was a turning point for Perrone -- a transition from a long-familiar New England player to a boldfaced name in critical and audience circles. His debut solo effort, "Used To Dream," was awarded with three 2006 Boston Music Award nominations, including "Outstanding Male Singer/Songwriter" and a "Best Unsigned Band/Artist of 2006" nomination from AlternativeAddiction.com; crowds flocked to shows throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Mid-West to see an artist heralded for an unabashedly candid, poignant approach to setting his life to music.
That style -- a melodic recreation of moments and emotions -- is what fuels Perrone as an artist and performer, he says.
