Singer-songwriter Peter Mulvey injects a contemporary edginess into his writing, distilling funk, folk, and rock influences into songs that are dark, lyrical, and ethereal. The Wisconsin native apprenticed as a street musician in Ireland before immersing himself in Boston's booming acoustic music scene as a subway and club performer, making a name for himself with his guitar style that uses unique, bass-heavy tunings, his smooth, husky voice, and his striking blend of wit and passion.

Now back in Milwaukee, Peter recently released a new CD, Knuckleball Suite (Signature Sounds), which the Washington Post describes as "Walt Whitman-like catalogues of images that blended into cinematic visions of love and corruption—the audience was riveted to every note."
