The Innocence Mission: Karen Peris (vocals, guitar, piano, organ); Don Peris (guitar, organ, drums, background vocals); Mike Bitts (upright bass, bass guitar).

Fronted by Don and Karen Peris, the Sonny & Cher of folk-pop, the Innocence Mission began plying their wispy, gentle trade in the late 1980s, reaching their peak of popularity in the first half of the '90s. They've taken breaks since then, and ... Full Descriptionworked on some extracurricular projects, but they never went away or broke stride.
STREET MAP contains a few songs from the new album we’ve been working on (released next spring?), some other new songs, and one earlier unreleased song. For now, this is only available on CD, here at our site.
The Innocence Mission are a folk band featuring the beautiful, mesmerizing vocals of Karen Peris, and the guitar backing of her husband, Don Peris.
Their signature style is dreamy slow songs, with beautiful melodies.
The original band, including Mike Bitts (bass), and Steve Brown (drums), was formed in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in the early 80s when the members met during a Catholic school production of Godspell. Although all members of the band have contributed musically, Karen Peris does most of the group’s writing.

Their eponymous debut album, released in 1989 (A&M Records), was produced by Larry Klein, then-husband of Joni Mitchell, and recorded in the couple’s basement recording studio. The album peaked on the Billboard charts at #167 in 1990, and the album’s second track, “Black Sheep Wall”, released as a single in 1989, peaked at #22 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks. The album’s fifth track, “Clear to You”, was used on the soundtrack of the pilot episode of Beverly Hills 90210. Klein also produced their 1991 follow up, Umbrella.
Their third and final A&M album, Glow, released in 1995 (A&M Records), Was produced by Dennis Herring, who had previously produced two records for Camper Van Beethoven. This album is a departure from Klein’s heavier production style. Whereas the first two releases may have brought to mind The Sundays and The Cocteau Twins with their moody keyboards, Herring’s lighter touch gave more emphasis to the group’s guitar work and to Karen’s vocals and lyrics.
