Charly Perry’s debut album, Hallelujah Anyway (Gotee Records), transforms profound loss into a powerful testament of faith. After her brother Clay was tragically murdered, the 23-year-old singer/songwriter channeled her grief into songs like the title track and “Joy of the Lord,” blending vulnerability with resilience. Rooted in her close walk with Jesus, Perry’s music offers hope and healing, reflecting God’s faithfulness amid pain.Raised in a family steeped in music and football—her father, Casey Beathard, is a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer, and her brother C.J. is an NFL quarterback—Perry initially shied away from singing due to fear. Her faith and involvement in church music ministry shifted her perspective, giving her purpose to share the gospel through song. Tracks like “Be Still” (w/ Zach Williams) and “Following” capture her journey of surrender and worship, aiming to inspire others to find peace and connection with Christ through life’s trials.
