Peter Mayer

Minnesota's Peter Mayer has been singing and songwriting full-time for over 20 years, performing in venues across the United States and beyond. He writes 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 songs about dress hats, pumpkins and pajamas, and even love and freight trains just like a good folk musician should. 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. His work has been included in song books, church hymnals, and folk radio playlists across the country.

"Peter Mayer is a magician - (his) universe is full of metaphor and meaning, story and symbol - everything contains more than meets the eye." ~ Bill Reed, music editor, Colorado Springs Gazette

"His guitar work is breath-taking, his lyrics mind-spinning, his singing soul-soothing and his feet-on-the-ground optimism nothing short of healing." ~ Marilyn Rea-Beyer, music director, WUMB Radio, Boston

"He is unafraid of complicated topics and always strives to look beyond the easy sentiment - Peter does nothing less than address the very nature of our existence. Trust me, most songwriters can't pull this off. Peter Mayer does." ~ Dale Connelly, Morning Show Host, Minnesota Public Radio

"Mayer's songs are crafted like shaker furniture, with no place for superfluous embellishments or throwaway lines. (His) world is bright and hopeful and the transcendent nature of his lyrics explore the mysteries of life. Mayer's fluid, clean, and tremendously intriguing guitar playing is topped with warm, rich vocals. This is music for the soul." ~ Acoustic Guitar Magazine

A portion of this concert's proceeds will be donated to Western Resource Advocates. Since 1989, Western Resource Advocates has worked to ensure that future generations will have wildlands, clean air, and flowing rivers in the iconic landscape of the West. From the rugged peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the Great Salt Lake to the treasured rivers of the desert Southwest and the expansive prairie and forest wildlands, they protect what is special about the West. If you've ever rafted the Colorado River, hiked in Utahs Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, spotted windmills or an array of solar panels out of the corner of your eye, watched a sage-grouse dance, or even sipped a glass of water, you've experienced their work first hand. In recent years, Western Resource Advocates have protected 9 major rivers, preserved more than 2 million acres of Western land, and advanced a clean energy future for 6 states.
