Peter Holsapple

Peter Holsapples first four decades in the music business have provided the world at large with a raft of memorable song craft, recordings of taste and originality, and travels with some of the finest musicians performing. Holsapple has navigated a snaky course through the annals of modern power pop with quality tunes like The dBs Love Is For Lovers or Continental Drifters Invisible Boyfriend. His versatility on sundry instruments has made him the go-to auxiliary player for groups like R.E.M. and Hootie and the Blowfish. He's played the Apollo Theatre and the Ryman Auditorium. His songs have been played and recorded by Marti Jones, Don Dixon, the Troggs, Claire Lynch, Nada Surf, Bully, the Golden Palominos, Foster & Lloyd and Megafaun. Recently, Holsapple is a charter member of the songwriter collective podcast Radio Free Song Club, where he has turned in a perfect record for submissions over thirty-one episodes since December 2009. He is still waiting for his gold star. Meanwhile, in 2017, after two years of successful appearances at 30A Songwriters Festival, Holsapple has released a new 7 45 rpm single Dont Mention The War b/w Cinderella Style on his own Hawthorne Curve Records.
