Peri (Bracy) Broadbent

Peregrine V. Broadbent, aka Peri Bracy, aka Tanya Ryde, aka Peri Broadbent, was born March 14, 1975. Though always musical, she was never in a real band until she formed Sinferno with best friend, Salli Wason (Man-Witch, Hessian, Doug & Salli). With minimal experience with instruments in general, she started learning to play the bass guitar from a beginner's instruction book, listening to the Ramones, and tips from Salli. The bass is Peri's preferred instrument to this day, and much of her songwriting is done with a bass. As a bass player, Peri has played or performed with several bands, including, to date: Sinferno, Guttersnipe, The Demimondes, Prism Camp, Aepril Schaile & the Judgement, The Beyond, Nobody and the Make Believes.

Primarily a lyric writer and vocalist, Peri also wrote and/or co-wrote the songs of Sinferno, Hatchetface and the Vipers, and, currently, Dementia Five. As a performer, she has always leaned toward the flamboyant style of the glory days of rock and roll, wearing headdresses and bright makeup, often constructing her own stage clothes to mirror the theme of the show.

Peri has also put together many events at Geno's Rock Club, and most recently was the curator for the monthly Geno's First Friday Rock Walk. She took up the reins after Melynda Amann ended her tenure booking the artists, and started booking the music to coincide with the artists' style. Her main focus was booking artists to show their work in the lobby who wouldn't normally be able to get gallery exhibitions anywhere else. She did this from November 2009 to September 2012.

Peri was a celebrity judge for STRUT! a burlesque contest at Geno's in 2010.

Peri is married to Will Broadbent (Ogre, Hatchetface and the Vipers, Dementia Five, The Beyond, Hello Monster, Nobody and the Make Believes).
