Al Perry

May 24, 2026 By Jamie Manser Leave a Comment

I took these photos of “legendary”* Tucson musician Al Perry back in March 2009 at his residence.

Maybe it was in conjunction with the April 2009 release of his album “The Three Track Sessions EP,” covered by the Tucson Weekly in this article. Or maybe it had something to do with his KXCI show “Clambake,” a show he retired from on March 31, 2026 after 28 years of spinning tunes—he started in 1998! Learn more from this KXCI post. 

Learn a bit about Al in his March 4, 2004, Tucson Weekly Nine Questions interview.

*Legendary is in quotation marks because he told me in the past he hated that moniker. If you search the Tucson Weekly archives for “Legendary Al Perry,” it returns 65 results. The man has be a stalwart in the Tucson music scene since the 1980s.
