Junction Ten Live at the Crescent 1/27/12

Tolleson-bred singer/songwriter Robert Perez, frontman for local country shitkickers Junction 10, walks into Tempe's Yucca Tap Room. He's carrying a guitar case on a Tuesday night. 'I always carry a guitar with me wherever I go.' And is, by country standards, one of the real wild cards. "I'm 6-foot-4, 450 pounds with a Misfits tattoo on my arm," says Perez with a chuckle. "I think it probably jars people, you know?"
Perez's visage may not fit the Nashville mold, but he's among the best country singers west of the Rio Grande. He has a voice that any of the current hunks in hats riding the country charts would kill for: a keening, tequila-soaked tenor equally adept at tear-in-your-beer laments and dusty, rowdy, honky-tonkin' two-steppers that have come to define the best songs in the burgeoning local country scene.
"Friends, family, they're like, 'That voice comes out of you?'" Perez says. "Singing country music is not easy. There are a lot of people who have tried to do it for a lot of years. I listened to [country singers] and I could sing it. It happened just like that, and I am very lucky for that. I've got a day job. I'm doing pretty good. I've got a roof over my head and gas in the tank. But this music thing I do, I do it because I love it. I do it because I want to contribute something that I think is pure out there. If I can sell a few records — if a few people know who I am — great. If that means I have that many more friends in the world, that's great. I love doing what we do. Get your ass out to Tempe and see what we mean!"
