Peter Mulvey injects a contemporary edginess into his writing, distilling funk, folk and rock influences into songs that are dark, lyrical, and ethereal. A Milwaukee native, Peter apprenticed as a street musician in Ireland before immersing himself in Boston's booming acoustic music scene as a subway and club performer. With a startlingly novel guitar style utilizing unique, bass-heavy tunings, a smooth, husky voice, and spare, resonant lyrics, he stood out amidst the new hard-edged acoustic wave, winning the Boston Acoustic Underground Competition. "He simply blew away the competition," the Boston Herald raved, "blending wit, passion, a clear voice, and a sensational guitar style that was both technically complex and emotionally hot." Peter's new album, Kitchen Radio (Signature Sounds), weaves together riveting performance, deft songwriting, and intricate, percussive guitar playing.
