Barney Perrine hails from Aberdeen, Washington, He grew up in Grays Harbor County and began performing professionally in 1977 with the original Desoto Rose.
Barney has sang and played guitar with bands/musicians such as KIDCO (with the late, great Wayne "Goose" Fleury as drummer); Donn Fleury as PF Flyer; Bruce Hughes as Perrine and Hughes. And before going solo, he paired up with John Myers as The Perrine Myers Band.
Barney lost half of the ring finger on his right hand due to a table saw accident in 2013, earning him the nickname "Nine-Fingers". The challenge of playing guitar down a digit has been accepted and mastered by him. Like he always says, "It's just repetition."
His band's current line-up includes two Peninsula favorites, Larry Alfred on percussion and drums and Peter Unander Scareem on bass and keyboards.
