  Tattoo Slover

  Born, December 8, 1977, in Bluefield, West Virginia. Tattoo started singing and playing music at the age of four. At the age of 8, Tattoo and his family moved to Myrtle Beach, SC, where he continued to hone his skills in music and performance. During his teen years and early twenties, Tattoo performed throughout the American southeast with many bands including genera such as; Rock, Country, Beach, Funk, and Jam.
  
  Tattoo is also a vintage keyboards/guitars enthusiast and collector. Some of his collection includes; A prize 1963 Hammond B3 organ w/122 Leslie speaker, a 1968 Hammond B3 organ, a Fender Rhodes stage piano, a Hohner Clavinet D6, and a 1973 Gibson Hummingbird.
  
  Tattoo now resides in Central Pennsylvania with his wife and children and performs regularly at Bobby McKeys Dueling Piano Bar, National Harbor, MD, in the Metropolitan Washington DC area. Tattoo is mostly a fan of 60's, 70's, and 80's Classic Rock, Folk, R&B/Soul, Jazz, and Funk. His favorite artists include; Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Bill Withers, Sly and the Family Stone, The Allman Brothers Band, Crosby Stills & Nash, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Vince Guraladi, Jimmy Smith, and many more.

  Music, science, and skiing... while Perry has held positions from professional ski instructor to engineer, his love of music and entertaining has led him on a cross-country trek.

  Before the age of eight, Perry was comfortable singing and acting on stage. Music has always been an integral part of his life, from playing in bands and working in recording studios, to performing in sing-along shows, songwriting and composing.

  How odd (or maybe serendipitous?) that Perry would end up entertaining in Washington D.C. - since throughout his adult years he's proudly followed politics like most people follow sports (not that he doesn't enjoy sports, of course!) Perry feels very fortunate to represent Bobby McKey's and is thankful that you, America's fun loving citizens, have afforded him the opportunity to live a life he truly enjoys... for which he will always be thankful.

  Hello Washington! It's hard to believe that I've returned to perform in the nation's capital after a 25 year absence. I am a graduate of T.C. Williams high school in Alexandria, VA, and a former music student at the University of North Texas. I've been a pianist, percussionist, bass guitarist, and singer/songwriter for most of my life, playing in numerous bands and productions. Music has taken me on quite a journey, and it brings me now to the National Harbor. My dueling piano background includes most recently, a decade of service at the famous and highly successful Crocodile Rocks in Myrtle Beach, SC, and a two year venture at Howl At The Moon Saloon in Columbus, OH. I am eager to continue entertaining here at Bobby McKeys and look foward to meeting the new and diverse clientele! My hobbies include; swimming, hiking, the culinary arts, woodworking, touring major & minor league ballparks, attending NASCAR races, and riding roller coasters. Once again, I’m back and anxious to accept the challenges in this most classy venue. Please come spend an evening with us and enjoy the show!
