Sydney singer songwriter Perry Keyes will release his 4th and 5th studio albums during 2015.
Keyes’ ‘Sunnyholt’ will be the first of the new Perry Keyes new music for 2015 with the second album ‘The Great Western Highway’ coming mid-year. The albums tell the story of Sydney’s Western Suburbs and “the personal tale of a family disintegrating under social and economic pressures”.

Perry Keyes grew up in Sydney’s inner suburb Redfern. He cites his musical influences as The Clash and Elvis Costello and lyrical influences as Lou Reed and Bruce Springsteen.
