Guitar virtuoso Mayer has been singing and songwriting for over 20 years. He composes songs for a small planet. Songs about interconnectedness and the human journey—songs about life on earth and the mysterious and wondrous fact of our existence. He also writes about dress hats, pumpkins and pajamas, and other important stuff! His music has been performed by artists like Kathy Mattea, David Wilcox, Claudia Schmidt, Anne Hills, Priscilla Herdman, Darryl Purpose, Billy Jonas, and Ronny Cox, to name a few. Song books, church hymnals, and folk radio playlists across the country include his work. He is the recipient of fellowships from the McKnight and the Bush foundations. Peter has 11 albums.
Local singer, songwriter, and guitarist Maria Sangiolo (The Vanilla Bean Café, Pomfret) said, “Peter’s expressive voice and thoughtful lyrics reach my innermost being, challenge me to face the dark, face the truth, listen....and feel heard all in one sitting.”
