Peter Mulvey

Peter Mulvey's story is pretty simple. College graduate from Milwaukee moves to Ireland in the early nineties, with guitar, and busks on the streets of Dublin. Hears that acoustic music is booming in Boston, comes back the U.S., and, in between the occasional paying gig, plays in the subway to make rent. Wins the prestigious Acoustic Underground Competition and awes both the audience and the press: "He simply blew away the competition. In twelve minutes, he blended wit, passion, a clear voice, and a sensational guitar style that was both technically complex and emotionally hot Mulvey was nearly incendiary, the clearest star-in-making." (The Boston Herald). Since then, he's released 12 full length albums, including this year's Silver Ladder, while bringing his live-wire presence to stages around the world. As The Irish Examiner said: "Peter Mulvey is one of the most accomplished guitarists you're ever likely to hear utterly original it is nigh on impossible to explain him to the uninitiated his intelligent and sometimes complex songs engage both hemispheres of the listener's brain ."one of the finest, most complete entertainers stunning/"
