PETER MAYER TO PERFORM Peter is an artist of relevance and insight whose music is not to be missed! If you didn't get a chance to hear Peter perform at UUA General Assembly 2000 & 2003, now's your chance to hear him in Florida ! Date: October 10, 2004 Ticket price: $12 per adult, children $5. Refreshments and snacks will be offered. Soundmate system for the hearing impaired available Peter Mayer writes songs for a small planet—songs about interconnectedness and the human journey; songs about the beauty and the mystery of the world. Whimsical, humorous, and profound, his music takes you up mountains, across oceans, into space, and back home again. A native of Minnesota with a background in Theology, Peter is not big on love songs, but prefers delving into science, nature, and things spiritual. Peter started touring full-time in 1995 and has gradually amassed a dedicated, word-of-mouth following, selling out shows from Minnesota to Texas , New England to Colorado . He has six CDs to his credit, and has sold over 40,000 of them independently. Peter’s latest CD is entitled Earth Town Square and features 13 new original songs. He is currently working on a collection of songs for winter solstice, which is due out in 2004, as well as a new songbook. "Mayer’s appealing guitar style (is) alternately percussive, rhythmic, melodic, or all of the above. In Mayer’s capable hands the instrument sounds like a calliope one moment, an orchestra the next and then a cleanly picked guitar a la Dave Van Ronk… Mayer is a performer at the top of his game who knows that the secret to living in a world of perplexing questions is enjoying the search for answers." |
