An '80s FLASHBACK MOCKUMENTARY
Kaufman & Perri have written all kinds of eclectic music – from Broadway musicals to Hawaiian pop songs, zombie rock ballads, and as most of our recent fans know, lots of radio-style country tunes. But Hammer Alley – which we’re producing under a special Kaufman & Perri and Friends banner – has got to be the funniest and most outrageous project we’ve ever been a part of. Hammer Alley is a PodCom – a podcast meets sitcom kind of affair. Like the banner art says, it’s a mockumentary of an 80’s rock band (and their dumpster fire career).
For Perri, it’s a story that hits way close to home and may even have a bit of an autobiographical edge to it. We hope you like it as much as we have enjoyed being the songwriting end of the project. Either way, do us a solid and click on through to the official “Hammer Alley Rocks” website – or wherever fine Podcasts are given away – and listen to season one. And dude, be sure to subscribe so that we know you’re listening.
