BOB PERFETTO (known professionally as Bobby Perfect) is a lifelong musician who plays electric and acoustic guitar, lap steel, bass guitar, violin, and sings. He has performed in venues all around the East Coast, West Coast, and in Europe, solo, or with a number of his bands, including, Blue Rhythm Sandwich, The Night Owls, Blue Fuse, the King Biscuit Blues Band, Good Neighbors, Bokum Road, and Lonesome Valley Riders.

Currently, he sings and plays guitar in a New York-based country band (The Smoky Parlor Boys), and a Connecticut shore band (the Back Porch Pickers). Bob and Leigh perform together as a duo called BlueBird.

His discography includes: "Light Blue" (a collection of his favorite songs by other songwriters), "Shackles" (a collection of his -- mostly original -- guitar instrumentals.) He has added lead guitar to tracks on the CDs "Eclectic Chanteuse" and "Oh, Wow!" by Leigh Harrison, and on BlueBird’s CD, "BlueBird at My Window," and he has recorded and produced CDs for other artists.

LEIGH HARRISON has played guitar for many years and has written songs since the age of twelve. Her voice has been described as “a smoky alto” and “whiskey with a shot of honey,” that ranges from “funky to sultry to sweet.”

She plays acoustic and electric 6 and 12-string guitars, Dobro, banjo/guitar, and diatonic African flute. She has played percussion and performed as a lead or back-up vocalist with many blues and rock bands, including The King Biscuit Blues Band, The Night Owls, Cheyenne Social Club, Jukebox Jamboree, The Pick-Up All Stars, Magic Mechanism, High Park, Bokum Road, and Blue Rhythm Sandwich. She studied guitar with Woody Mann and others, and has played guitar with Johnny Winter, and flute alongside Jaco Pastorius.

Leigh regularly works in the duo BlueBird; SongCrew Music released a CD of their folk-rock and country-blues, entitled "BlueBird at My Window." Leigh also has two singer-songwriter CDs of her originals and some cover songs, "Eclectic Chanteuse" and "Oh, Wow!," both on the SongCrew label. In June, 2022, her original song, "Louisiana Moon," hit the Top Ten on Broadjam's Country/Cajun songlist.

SHERRILL FARKAS, child of classical musicians, grew up steeped in music, beginning piano at five and playing viola in school. Although her family focused on classics, a door to pop music opened when she won a transistor radio at twelve, and she soon bought a guitar. In time the five-string fiddle became Sherrill’s prime instrument, and her lyrical soprano can be heard soaring in harmonies.

In addition to singing in many groups, Sherrill has also arranged, directed and taught music, and provided studio session fiddle. Some genres she has enjoyed working in are classical, folk, pop, rock, bluegrass, madrigals, gospel, Irish, and old-time jazz. Sherrill has sung with Salt and Pepper Gospel Choir, directed the vocal groups Calliope and Sassaphrass, and her past bands include Furious George, and Minstrel & Company.

Currently, Sherrill performs with her Irish band, The Coracles, the duo Not My Wife!, and occasionally sits in with the Back Porch Pickers and other CT groups. Her discography includes "The Ballad of St. Brendan" (Mitsein Records 2016).
