Pearl
Honey-throated, soulful and possessing a compelling growl full of grit, Pearl is every inch a rock chanteuse who moves seamlessly from vulnerable to guttural in one measure. Her album Heartbreak and Canyon Revelry, produced by Jay Ruston, ushers in a new dawn of California Country Rock, with Pearl joining forces with the venerable Jim Wilson (longtime bassist for Daniel Lanois and Emmylou Harris, and leader of Motor Sister). It is the natural evolution from her 2010 debut, Little Immaculate White Fox. Pearl has been compared to Ann Wilson, KT Tunstall and Shania Twain.
Pearl literally grew up sleeping in a guitar case while performing on the road with her father, rock legend Meat Loaf, and has had a storied career of her own: performances on Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel, and stages shared around the world with a who's who of rock, pop and country, from Foo Fighters and Lukas Nelson to Heart and Velvet Revolver.
She has toured and written with Cody Jinks and Ward Davis, was featured on a Black Star Riders album, performed at the Grammy Museum for a Janis Joplin tribute, supported Cherie Currie & Brie Darling and Shooter Jennings, and had breakout performances at Bourbon & Beyond and Topanga Days.
Pearl is also a member of MotorSister with her husband Scott Ian (Anthrax) and members of The Cult, Rollins Band and other rock all-stars.
