Early Pearl It all began in a rehearsal studio in Dallas, Texas in early 2003. Early Pearl was formed out of a twist of fate. Tyler, the drummer, had been searching day after day after night for the right mix of musicians to form a band that played high-energy, alternative rock but blended with a unique sound. In walked young Jameson Pirkle - he played guitar on an unannounced audition that wowed and amazed Tyler and company. Down the hall in a different room with a different band, Bishop Booker heard about this band seeking a singer. He took a break, wandered in, and liked what he heard. More importantly, because Bishop possessed the subtle sounds of soul and his vocals blended so nicely - the fit was perfect. In another room, down another hall, rehearsing together Chris Ivey and Chris Jackson got wind there was an audition for bass and another guitar player. Ivey auditioned and joined first, then Jackson. Now the band was ready to move forward and make their mark . Tyler was replaced with Bobby Primm formerly of the band Big Iron in July of 2006. Thus, the birth of Early Pearl, in May 2003 followed by the rebirth in July of 2006.
