David Perasso

David Perasso blends a love for the American folk revival, English and Scottish songs, and his ancestral Italian songs. At age 8, he started singing in his church choir and continued singing in choirs in the San Francisco Bay area and in Seattle. He discovered folk music in the 1980s and was introduced to chantey singing when he joined Strikes A Bell in 2017. Although David has never sailed, he used to kayak, and he loves the ocean.  He performs in the Seattle-based duo, Kessler and Perasso.
