Fernando Perdomo

On May 24th, 2019 The Documentary film Echo In The Canyon premiered in theaters and the official Soundtrack album was released on BMG records. Fernando appears in the film as the guitarist in the backing band in most of the scenes, and he appears on every track but one on the soundtrack album.

In November 2018 Perdomo released Zebra Crossing, with Zak Nilsson (son of Harry Nilsson), Cyndi Trissel, and Beach Boys lyricist Stephen Kalinich appearing. It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and is Perdomo's love letter to the famous studio and includes his cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

In July 2015, Perdomo and cult favorite Indie pop/power pop artist Cait Brennan completed sessions for Brennan's long-awaited first studio album, Debutante. The 13-song album was recorded in five days. Brennan funded the initial production of the album through Kickstarter and exceeded her funding goal in just 69 hours. Perdomo and Brennan split production duties and played all the instruments on the album. In December 2016, Brennan and Perdomo reunited at Ardent Studios in Memphis to record the follow-up, Third, using much of the same gear as Big Star used in its own Ardent heyday. The album will be released by Omnivore Recordings on April 21, 2017.

In early 2017 Fernando formed "Fern & Celli", an improvisational duo" with crossover cellist Ruti Celli. In May 2017 they opened for Jazz Fusion Violinist Jean Luc Ponty at the Canyon Club.

Perdomo moved to Los Angeles in 2012 and opened "Reseda Ranch Studios" in Reseda. His first project was co-producing (with Chris Price) The Soul of All Natural Things, the long-awaited second album by Linda Perhacs, for Asthmatic Kitty records. The album was widely acclaimed; Pitchfork Media said it was "sumptuously recorded... with strings and nylon-string guitar filtering through the mix like the sunlight through the trees in her Topanga Canyon home.". Perdomo and Price are currently recording a third album with Perhacs at Perdomo's Reseda Ranch Studios.

His new single, "Photographers in Love" came out on 11/08/13.

He opened for Jon Anderson at the Colony Theatre in Miami Beach 11/10/13 and received a standing ovation.

In 2010 Fernando Perdomo and his band Dreaming in stereo were signed to a management deal with Bill Aucoin, under his company Aucoin Globe Entertainment. However, Aucoin became ill and died due to surgical complications from prostate cancer. Aucoin has also been credited with discovering, developing and managing the legendary rock band Kiss and Billy Idol. Dreaming in Stereo 2 followed in 2010 to glowing reviews. The band showcased at SXSW 2010 and also backed up the legendary Andy Pratt.

In late 2008, Perdomo produced a new solo album by Transcendence singer Ed Hale entitled Ballad on Third Avenue. Perdomo had originally formed a group called Dreaming in Stereo in 2004. Hale suggested that Perdomo call his new solo project by the same name. The live band lineup in 2008 included Roger Houdaille on bass, Derek Cintron, who fronts arena rock band DC-3 (Rock Band) on drums, and Cynthia Kivlan on flute, the same as in 2004. Dreaming in Stereo's band lineup included bassist Vincent Cuevas, violinist Dave Torre, keyboardist Marisol Garcia and drummer Eddie Zyne, who played with Hall & Oates and The Monkees in the 70s. The act released the album also called Dreaming in Stereo, on July 21, 2009 through Hale's label Dying Van Gogh, based out of New York City. The album was then re-released through Perdomo's own label, Forward Motion Records, in the summer of 2010.

In 2007 Perdomo acted as bassist and musical director for singer-songwriter Hilary McRae, who was signed to the Starbucks/ Hear Music record label. On Hilary's album "Through these walls", he is credited with playing bass, guitars, and additional engineering and arrangements. He co-arranged horns on the song "Why Can't Now Be Our Time" with the legendary Charles Calello and in addition contributed songwriting. In 2008 Perdomo produced an English album for Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter, Jorge Moreno, which has not been released yet, and the legendary 70s music icon Andy Pratt (of Avenging Annie fame). His first film score was for the movie Gri-Gri, which premiered at the Cannes film festival. The film featured opening music and an original song written by Jorge Moreno, Fernando Perdomo, and Marc Chourain.

Fernando started his career as a session guitar player after playing in Miami Bands, Avenging Lawnmowers of Justice, Sixo, and Trophy Wife. In 1999, his guitar playing was featured in a nationwide ad campaign for Pier One Imports. In 2002, at the age of 22 he recorded most of the guitars for Cristian Castro's platinum Amar Es album, including the number 1 hit "No Hace Falta." He went on tour with Castro for 3 years, visiting 15 countries and performing at TV and radio networks throughout Latin America. Perdomo also filled in as lead guitarist and pianist for Soraya on her final tour. It was during this time that Perdomo joined the popular Brit Pop/Modern Rock band Ed Hale and Transcendence, finally adding a permanent guitarist to the band's often-changing lineup. He also brought with him childhood friend and bassist Roger Houdaille who joined and started touring with the band at the age of 19. This precipitated a radical shift in the sound of the group, who at the time were better known for a world music–modern rock fusion. The band shortened its name to simply Transcendence from that point forward to signal that it was no longer just a group of session musicians backing up singer-songwriter Ed Hale and had become a "real band" operating as a full-fledged unified musical unit. Starting with the band's second album Sleep With You onward the band has recorded five albums with this lineup with Perdomo often acting as lead guitarist, background vocalist, musical director, and occasionally contributing songs to the band's albums.
