Slothtrop Music Signs Indie Songwriter Perrin Crane!

September 17th, 2009

Madison, WI, September 17, 2009- Slothtrop Music is proud to announce that San Francisco based lo-fi singer/songwriter Perrin Crane is the newest addition to their Galaxy of Artists. The band was introduced to Slothtrop through the Sonicbids website.

“Perrin’s an amazing songwriter”, said Slothtrop Music president Eric Hester, “and while not nearly enough folks have heard of him yet, we’re going to do everything we can to change that.”

Perrin Crane has been a musician all his life. He has played in bands from the West to East Coast and back again. He has been influenced by many artists including, but not limited to, The Beatles, Nirvana, Neil Young, and a raging case of clinical depression. Perrin is dedicated to bringing melody back into music, and is gifted with all sorts of instrumentation.

Mr. Crane is the second artist signed to Slothtrop through their new Sonicbids submission system. This system allows Slothtrop to find bands interested in being on their roster with a Sonicbids electronic press kit (EPK). The system is hosted at Sonicbids.com.

“Sonicbids has saved us from storing a ton of paper press kits and CD’s,” says Hester, “it has also allowed us to find some truly great artists that we are excited to know and work with.”

Perrin Crane will release his debut CD “A Big Long Look” for Slothtrop in mid October.
