10 years ago, Mojo Perry encountered a profound challenge, as he found himself in as one of

the countless victims of America's opioid endemic.

And barking on a journey towards recovery and self-discovery, Mojo Perry is a story

of triumph over adversity and a comeback in music with a story to tell and songs to

write.

Mojo Perry, welcome to Maxinc Radio.

Thank you guys.

I am so honored to be here.

You have no idea.

It's been a hot minute since I've seen you, man.

It's been a couple of years, but you look great.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Jimmy was saying something that you thought you appeared on the show at some point before

was it?

I thought maybe not this one, but I think you might have joined us either at WSUM or

perhaps at the Whiskow here in the one of the Jimmy K-Joses.

I believe it was to whip Whisk, WSUM does ring a bell, as well.

Oh, you're always saying no, Jimmy.

A couple.

It's been a while.

It's great to see you, man.

Likewise.

So happy when I saw that you guys were here.

It just made me feel warm and welcome.

You guys rock, man.

Oh, well, thanks.

Well, you know, before we find out about who Mojo Perry is, let's hear a song, okay?

Okay.

The first song you have for us tonight, it's called The Story Song.

It's your most popular song.

Tell us about this song before you play it.

Well, you know, when I first wrote it, I was like a lot of artists.

I was a kid and I just had this melody.

You know, a lot of working in that, that waltz, that's six, eight time.

And it just kind of fit perfectly.

And originally it was called The Telephone Song, you know, you know, tell you how much

young I was when I wrote it.

And then eventually I started writing it differently and it evolved and evolved.

And it just got to be this really special thing that every time we perform it, in fact,

we'll play it at Atwood Fest, we'll talk about later.

Okay.

Right?

And it's just one of my personal favorites.

And then stories come, stories go, right?

Wow.

We're live in the layer with Mojo Perry.

Here's a story about Johnny Boy Blue.

Everyone yelled at me, picked on a little fool, so he jumped out from the world while

he left with his guitar.

Happy is is, is happy is does, what really matters is how we all try to live our life.

Whether we win or lose doesn't even really matter.

I was five. She came home from visiting her relatives in oil. And all I remember seeing was this head of a guitar case come through the door. Now I hadn't seen my mom and over like a week, a couple of weeks. You know, I grabbed that guitar and I took off with it. And I, you know, my mom said that from that point on to any time she wanted to know where I was. She just had to stop and listen. And then she'd find me and that went on right up until I left the door. So. Wow.

Did your parents play music or did they push you toward playing music? What kind of influence did they have? Mom was a concert pianist and she could sight read. She I used to sit at the end of the hallway on in mornings and weekends and just listen to her play.

It's amazing. Bach Mozart all of it. She's amazing. Wow. That's pretty incredible. Now, how old were you when you started performing live?

Well, there was a I had a teacher in school that was, you know, of course, this is an upper peninsula Michigan. So quick shout out to Houghton, Michigan. All right. All my Uper's right. You per love. Okay. That's in the upper peninsula. Yeah, where in the UP is that?

Well, that is about an hour less than an hour shy of no more land. You know, you go up north way up into that UP. God's are your code is 906. Yeah, I do this thing with my hand here. Can you guys see that?

Yeah. See, I'm up here. There's no fun. Far north. Okay. I got you. Yeah. Uper 220 inches. It's no year. Oh, wow. Land to Iceland. No Robert plant says. So how old were you when you started performing live?

I was 14 when I did my first school room classroom. I'd bring my guitar to school. It's how much I played. Wow. And it really just was such a big part of my life. I think even to this day, my classmates that I bump into,

they say that that was always a part of my identity. So really, I don't have any memories of it not being prolific in my life. So you knew you were going to be a musician. Yeah. Yeah. There was no choice on a matter. It just was a natural course of events.

It's amazing how that how that works out. So you, like you said, you started out in the UP. Yeah. You moved to Milwaukee for a little bit, right? Yeah, I lived in Milwaukee, Chicago.

What was that? What was like big going from the UP to Milwaukee or Chicago? I was a Chicago. Yeah. What was that like for you? Well, it was one of the things where like it was looking back on it. I was insane. You know, I mean, why do you call her shock? I mean, go from the UP to a big city like that.

I had never been more excited. And I wrote this, this very, in my book, I come out, I got this piece called the hug. And I wrote it that morning before I got on the plane to leave out of Marquette, Michigan. And when I got to Chicago, I knew one person. And that was a person inviting me to come and leave with them. And I went there and showed up in my guitar.

And oh, Harry Airport, I had never been anywhere that big ever in my life. Wow. Like an idiot. I said, I'm not going home. And I ripped my ticket and half my drill trip. So, and I toughed it out.

That's crazy. But you know, you grow up real fast in that environment. Yeah.

You just become a different person. And I adapted to it. You know, I always had this thing like, you know, if I can deal with all that snow and driving and all that crap, you know, I can handle Chicago.

And then they came to Madison. What draw you to what drew you to Madison here? You know, I never really spent time here. And so when I wanted to focus on my health, you know, I wanted to go someplace where I knew that was comfortable. And I had people here that I wanted to be near.

And that's how I wound up here. And it was really kind of as simple as that. I was ready for a change. I wanted to get rid of my environment where I was at the time. Just a change.

How long did it take for you to fall in love with Madison? Well, about 15 minutes.

You know, you know, yeah, you learn really fast about how good a city is, you know, way that to treat you. And, you know, I came here to be really quiet. My neighbors have been very responsive.

I quit riding a motorcycle up and down. So that kind of killed the beef, you know, so I started to fit in and I love it here. So, well, you know, Mojo, a 26 year long standing,

mechanical condition that has caused you severe pain led you to a critical point using pills to deal with pain issues. It's a part of your journey. Tell us about your struggle.

Well, you know, I had a thing that was natural. It was with my teeth and my shoulders. And at a very early age, I started being prescribed coding.

You know, in fact, I have a song called coding where I say, Mr. Doctor, Mr. Doxer, what about me? You know, I'm asking about, you know, what's happening. And especially at that time, there wasn't like an awareness of addiction or anything.

Like, so I never really understood what was happening to me until it was long too late. And then that BS about it's not have it forming and blah, blah, blah. When you don't have the money, they just write to the script to get you out of the office.

And so that, but you were not one foot and the other 26 years.

When, when did it dawn on you that, hey, I'm in trouble here?

Well, the first time I tried to tell a doctor, she sat there and shook her head at me. I now know what I was dealing with is restless legs syndrome. That was physical withdrawal.

I did not understand what that was. And so, yeah, I was sent out with more. Like they gave me more. And that I often wonder, like, that I have contributed to another 13 years of my life. That was my entire adult life, guys.

But I was able to, the good side is I was able to face all those fears to go to Europe with just a couple hundred bucks in your pocket, you know, wing in it.

It gave me the courage to do all kinds of things. So, you know, as much as it damaged my life, I am very grateful that what I learned, what I experienced, the person I've become, and the fabulous people that I have met and the happiness that I have today, guys, I could not have it that way if I didn't experience that dark.

Well, what was the support network that you had to get through that? Obviously, I would imagine your music, but was there other people or people or something that you did to get through that?

Well, I effectively hit it, you know, I mean, I was really good at hiding it. And, you know, like most addicts are, and then when I was trying to get help, you know, someone overheard the call.

And that's when it, you know, all that stuff. It wasn't sleep apnea that I was waking up gasping for air. That was actually an overdose, you know, things that I'm really not not proud of, but this reality of that journey.

But again, once you go from that type of darkness, and you come out on the other side, you know, you have a strength, you have a personal power, you have a reason.

That's right. And you find that, you know, with the world throws that you may suck, you may scream, you may cry, you know, that doesn't change anything, but you know, you'll take it head on, baby.

Yeah, you know, you're reclaiming your health, passion, and have a new renewed artistic vision. Tell us about the triumph over adversity. Tell us about kind of how this affected your music.

Well, you know, 26 years long time. So that goes back for me for like 17 guys, right? Yeah. Think about that 17. Then you just kind of wake up one day.

You're this notorious guitar player. As they say, you've got these records, these things going out, and you've got this terrible thing that's making you sick.

You know, and you're still trying to perform, still trying to meet your goals for deadline to pressure is unbelievable.

You know, and so when I found my way in to recovery, I just decided like, I had enough. You were really, I just had enough.

Nobody had to tell me anything. I was on my way there. And what saved my neck was Obamacare. I got my medical card, then I was able to address these medical issues.

And then that was when I realized I was really in over my head. But again, I cannot stress to you enough that all the people that I know throughout recovery all say the same things.

You know, you go in, you know, you feel like a little baby, you know, like you feel like you know hope your life is over blah, blah, blah. Then you come out and you're like, uh, no, that's just not true.

And I remember shaking my head at all those cliches. I still hate him. He'll never tell me, man, like, no, just leave me alone.

But I guess there is some importance to him and they they they hold or ring true, I guess.

And especially with the story like you were you you've come out on the good side of this.

Yeah, I have friends I miss. Yeah, yes, I do. Yeah. And you know, and so I had a special someone, but a cat.

A cat was what did it? Well, it befriended me and like legit just wanted nothing to do with me the one day change your mind.

Cats are awesome rocker. Yeah, they are. Well, free of the cat.

And then no, let's get back to live music in the air with Moldo Perry presented by the Aaron Weber group. The next song you have for us today, and I'll stay right here.

The next song you have for us tonight is called a kiss and an old song written by a friend. Tell us about this song before you play.

All right, now I say old friend is a metaphor. My old friend, James, you'll figure it out real quick, right? I see.

Right, but you know, I might my pension for for Hendrix. I will never forget it, guys. Never forget it.

I was at John Linden, not like most people, right? Beatles, Psych, Dalek, stuff. That was cool. We're on the same page. Right.

And there was this thing on HBO. And I watched it. You know, John Linden is supposed to be on. And then this flash, this black man with this huge afro playing the most wicked guitar and blue child site return.

I was like, wow, what was that? And you know, and that was where I found love with Hendrix. And so I have this, what I feel is a very intimate personal relationship with the guy.

You know, I've read a bottom is I got books on his handwriting, all kinds of things. He's a really beautiful person.

He was super intelligent too and such a great musician. Very, very genuinely special man.

What's something that people don't know about Jimmy Hendrix that they should?

Well, you know, there's this odd theory that, you know, I broke my heart when I heard it that he, you know, he was murdered.

Like, you know, like he had that bad management, right? But Jeffery was real kind of bad dude, right?

And Jimmy was like, I'm going to go back to Chaz. I'm getting my new life fact. I'm done here. I don't want this dark darkness in my life.

And so he sent some thugs over to say, you need him to protect, you know, from this happening, right?

You know, the age old thing that they've done over the years and he didn't like wine.

That's the thing that people don't know about him. And what did he suffocate on?

Wine. So he, he didn't touch wine. He just never drank wine. That was the thing. So that's the thing I've always found. You know, is it, is a truth broken my heart?

The day I heard it, but it makes sense.

Wine, you never heard that before.

That's a interesting theory. That's for sure.

I think there's a video on YouTube about it. But the thing that I never knew about the guy, like all these things, like, you know, he would try anything.

Like, you know, he was like, Mikey, hey, I don't do it right. You know, but not mine.

Wine is fine, but, right, right, you know, eight, four, four, nine, six, seven, two, seven, eight, nine, eight, four, four, nine, six party.

Mojo Perry is live in the layer presented by the Aaron Weber group, Max Inc. on Civic Media.

I think depression is breaking my heart.

No, what I want, but I'm just alone.

Feelings we feel, as I wish, I could grasp all my tenderness, and I'm kids with a lot of depression.

I'm breaking my heart.

Woman, she's so pretty, but you're causing me pain.

You make love or break love, drives me insane.

All my dreams we feel, as I wish, I could grasp all my tenderness.

Man, you depression, breaking my heart.

Woman, she's so pretty, but you're breaking me into.

You make love or break love, I don't know what to do.

All my sweet feelings, I wish I could grasp all my tenderness.

All my dreams we feel, as I wish, I could grasp all my tenderness.

You make love or break love, drives me insane.

Very nice.

Mojo Perry live in the layer here on Max Inc. on Civic Media, 844-967-2789.

Mojo, in 20 years, you released nine albums.

You played countless shows.

Tell us about your career, and what were you able to accomplish before your self-imposed hiatus?

Well, I remember there was a big movie when I first got here in 1997.

Original music was just starting to hit Wisconsin.

We have a very profound, like if you look at it guys, don't we?

There's so much going on with music here in Wisconsin.

I've seen people from all over the country and even parts of the world come here,

because of what we have going on.

It's the single reason why we're on the air every Saturday night from September midnight.

There's so much talent.

It's been called world class more than once on this day.

I would not agree with that.

I would say it's double world class.

It's the universe class.

But back in, there had to be a bigger push for it, because the norm at the time,

as you know, you break any mold, there's always going to be some type of pushback.

Everything was working fine.

If the way that I recall it was profoundly all-cover, like pretty much that was all there was.

And there was a bunch of people, not just myself, that we really pushed in.

We advocated for original music.

I mean, we out there were pushing in.

I was one of those people, and you know, I mean, it starts with waves.

And then, of course, Mark Goldey, you know, that guy's amazing when he's accomplishing up there.

I remember meeting Mark, right when all this stuff started.

So I feel that my career, at least, that I contributed to all of that, right when it mattered.

You know, like there had to be someone that was out there doing it and going against the norm.

I remember, like, shows, like most of my shows are predominantly all-original.

I've been like, I don't recall ever being cover-based.

Even with the stuff that we do is very different than what you would hear.

And so, like, being a part of all that, I can't tell you what that means to me.

And not just myself, lots of people.

I mean, that was a huge thing that we all took part in.

To go from there to here, what we have now.

It's amazing. Lots of great people.

Well, that's pretty cool. And, you know, Madison happens to be one of those cities where we are just a little bubble of original music here.

Very much so.

Some great stuff are almost constant, but you're correct.

You know, cover bands in a lot of the areas are really what it's about.

Well, you know, you credit your comeback on your self-imposed five-year hiatus

to focus on your health and reinventing yourself as a person and artist and a songwriter.

Tell us about your transformative journey.

Well, I'll tell you the thing that I never expected.

Like, you just don't wake up one day and say, wow, you know, I'm an addict, right?

No.

Well, you do when you got to make that change, but all along that way as you go through,

you got to face different things with yourself.

And what it meant for me to focus on my health like that.

I had done music since my first release was on 16.

It was recorded on tape.

It wasn't digital music.

It was, you really had to work harder for that, especially in the UP.

That was, I think it was a half-inch tape that we recorded too.

Real real.

Right, real through real 16.

But we started from there now, like, of course, you can do so much with a laptop.

Yeah.

You know, and grow.

So that taught me how to focus more on my songwriting and relearn something that, like,

I never recorded until Nashville sober before ever in my entire life.

So that was, that was very unique.

You know, that was quite the experience doing this.

Like, even here, this is still new.

I'm still getting these things under my belt, new experience.

So, you know, of course, you're going to, you're going to man up, I guess, right?

Well, tell us about your mission to help others using your story and your comeback.

And what, what can you offer to others who may be struggling with an addiction to painkillers?

Well, you know, the, the hard part about addiction is that people have a tendency

to think that it's a moral issue.

It's not a moral issue.

It's a medical issue.

It's a medical issue, right?

You become physically dependent and, you know, and the way that addiction works,

it covers the frontal lobe of the brain, which is where you make the decisions.

And that's how cycles happen.

And it, for some people, you just use wants other times.

There's people who just can stop anytime.

I've seen it all different levels.

You know, if you have that going on,

but I can truly say to you as a person who was weak for 26 years,

you can crawl out from that rock.

You can have that life that you want that happiness.

It, you'll be uncomfortable for a while, but if you had the flu,

and had a couple of bad years of work, you'll be just fine.

You, you know, and if you focus on yourself,

you're just going to come out ahead.

You know, I mean, it's just a win-win thing.

And the change comes by doing the work.

You keep the focus.

And so what I have to offer is that I'm not the only person.

You know, America's opioid epidemic produced far more than victims

and tragedies.

It produced survivors, too.

And, you know, far as I know, we don't have an advocacy group.

So I'm just kind of sharing my story so that people can feel more comfortable

with stepping forward about thirst.

Do you ever think about, like, starting a foundation

or a support group yourself?

Well, you know, to, you know, to that end to help people.

Or, you know, I, there's a lot of worries.

I do speak professionally sometimes on, on, on this stuff.

And, you know, I think it's important to be open about it.

You know, and I, I just want to put it behind me.

Like, I would enjoy being the front guy for anything like that.

You know, the work and the effort.

But there's so much out there for people who have struggling

that just wasn't there when, in 2014, when I, I came in.

You know, like, the way I describe it, you know, like,

I had no idea that there was going to be a couple of million dead people coming in my tails.

They were going to flood the whole medical system for help and treatment

and everything.

I had no clue.

And I had just landed right where the trickle of water was hitting my heels.

And the next thing you know, it was all around everybody.

You know, is they haven't just like that.

So.

Wow.

What a story.

Yeah.

Well, let's get back to live music in the layer with Molotro Perry,

presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The next song you have for us tonight, it's called Drugs.

This song was written in the year 2000.

And it's uniquely for sure.

I had a wing, first shadowing.

What does this song mean for you?

I wrote this in 15 minutes, I believe.

Yeah.

And it was open modified, open G tuning that I use all the time.

And of course, the Michigan GP, you know, if you want to play,

you got to get in your car and you got to go from one end of the place together

from like, I've been all over Michigan, especially in the northern part.

And every like, bike or bar, you know,

and this song just kind of went in there.

What I didn't realize until recovery houses for trippy, right?

I never really listened to my own work.

And I was telling people what was going on with me the whole time.

I was expressing myself what was happening in my life,

the things were happening, what was going on.

Oh, through your music.

Right.

And I don't lie in my work.

I am very honest with what I say when I do,

and like, a lot of hear about people's, you know, the bottom rock.

You know, oh, this is my bottom.

You know, I lost my family.

For me, I was waking up one day and realizing I had 123 songs.

Or whatever was published.

None of them are really happy.

That broke my heart.

Because, you know, like, you, you utter bad things online.

That just isn't going to this goes into someone who's impressionable.

Someone who listens and acts to it.

And so when I think about expressing that thing, you know,

I was really telling myself what was going on.

So that's where I learned, you know, throughout that.

Wow.

That was a real wake up, fellas.

Such a powerful, inspiring story.

This story is module, module Perry live in the layer.

Uh, let's hear the song Drugs is maxing on civic media.

We are local music.

I love that part.

I'm proud of the way this plays in my life.

I've got a problem with my whole life.

Nothing ever seems To work out I'm going.

I've got to sit all alone.

Just me myself and I.

Just me and that lonely Steve.

So I take those drugs.

And I don't care, Lord, no more.

I sit alone, baby, I don't care no more.

I sit alone, baby, say my soul.

Mojo Perry that was sitting on a park bench.

I like that song.

I like that first line sitting on the park bench waiting

or trying to score a joy.

Yeah, back when it was like truly criminal.

Mojo, you were nominated for a few Wisconsin area music industry awards

and you made it to the finals for Best Guitarist

and second instrument for, is it low bro?

Low bro, yeah.

What is a low bro?

I'm not familiar with that.

Well, I'll tell you, John Lowe mountains, Tennessee guy.

He art saw way reinvented.

He's a godfather as far as I'm concerned of cigar box guitars.

Oh, yeah.

The neck has two wooden dials.

Pat McDonnell, you know, Wisconsin.

Pat McDonnell plays a low bow with a purgatory hill.

That's a low bow.

So it has two professional wooden dials and there is a difference.

It's not just like regular grade and it's got four strings.

And I tune mine to E-A-E-E.

So I basically have two notes and I'll tell you,

it's the deepest, most soulful tone you've ever been in here.

You'll hear the atwood fest, I promise.

Now, you know, that brings me to who are Mojo's ladies?

They are my guitars.

Not all of them have names.

It's only like the ones I have particular character to them

that I take a shine to that wind up for animals that I've met

with the name, right?

I have a, in fact, I have instrument named Lulu,

which was after a little kid and I met most adorable creature.

The guitar just felt like a Lulu.

My last Paul Jules, because I'll sparkly

and match personalities someone up.

Yeah, this one I'm playing actually has no name.

I was just going to have no name for that one, huh?

Not all of them get them.

Like I'm just weird.

And that's a fender, right?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

And how many cigarette cigar box guitars do you have?

Ooh, I have a few.

Under 10.

Under 10.

Right.

I don't like to have instruments I don't play.

But the thing is about like Lobos,

if you want change key, you can move the bar

and they're very finicky.

So I've learned it's better to just have one set

from different keys.

So let them move quick and things like that.

So.

Next Saturday, July 27th,

Mojo Perry Band is playing Luther Allison's stage

at Woodfest, opening for the headliner Dusty Bow.

Tell us about the band you're bringing

and what we will see some cigar box guitars.

Yes, I promise.

Because you brought it up.

I will make sure I bring one or two.

And I will thump on them for you guys.

Just for us.

Just for you guys.

I promise.

I give you my word.

And who's in your band?

Tony wins on drums and Chuck Hubble on bass.

I go way back with these guys.

Tony on drums.

I met him the first week I moved to Wisconsin, 97.

Wow.

Wow.

We got deep history with those guys.

And who is Zumi the cat?

Is that your saxophonist?

No, she's my cat.

She's a cat.

Yep.

She's got her own little following videos.

And yeah, she has me wrapped her on the little posh.

You can do no wrong.

She's present with just about everything I create.

It's really kind of insane.

It's on social media page.

Does Zumi have their own social media page and followers?

No, I don't do that to her.

Because I don't want to force her into videos and work her.

I just, you know, she just had a term to her.

And you know, she keeps it in line.

She even brings me to bed if I stay up too late.

Sure.

You should come get me.

Bojo Perry is live in the layer here.

We got a couple more songs.

Let's see.

Rocker, can we do both songs back to back?

Is that possible?

And see where we are?

Well, the next song is casual dismissal.

I guess you'd have to ask Mr. Mojo Perry that.

Well, we can see how it goes.

It's a little bit long one.

Okay.

But I'll see what I can do to the kind of show.

You got eight minutes to do that dreaded heartbreak.

Bojo Perry is live in the layer here on Maxi Grady.

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh.

I see it.

Here's a never-funner.

How we can be.

One minute love us.

Next enemies.

Does anyone even notice?

See, I hear a new elephant.

Does anyone even care?

Tell me, please.

Tell me, please.

Tell me.

I was out walking.

Late last spring.

Oh, so felt different.

Wish I could explain.

I felt what happened.

I felt sad.

I felt everything in between.

Does anyone ever feel like that?

Tell me, please.

Tell me, please.

It's all fun and how we can be.

One minute love us.

There's enemies.

Does anyone even notice?

See, I hear a new elephant.

Anyone even care?

Tell me, please.

Tell me, please.

Rojo Perry live in the lair.

Hey, Bojo, let's go right in the wishes here, man.

See if we can squeeze it in before the top of the hour.

Got four and a half minutes for you, brother.

I wish that I couldn't say I'm sorry.

But nothing's weaker than our words we speak.

Sometimes we shall act.

Could be the same.

That late now I'm insane.

How much of you really gives me?

I'll never notice you're too blunt to see.

Sometimes we shall act.

It wasn't in the pain.

That late now I'm insane.

I don't need you anymore.

You don't need me anyway.

I don't need you, no, no.

Sometimes we shall act.

I hate you, no, no.

Tryin' you to be a star.

Something tells me that I'm gonna say.

That late now I'm insane.

I ain't been me.

Yes, Mojo, Barry, live in the air.

I'm actually really happy right now.

We actually got all of your songs in today.

Before we went out to commercial, I thought we were in trouble.

I was like cutting it, like alright.
