Peter Mulvey "Silver Ladder" CD Release Show
Propelled by Kickstarter, produced by Chuck Prophet, recorded in LA with a roomful of top-notch players, Peter Mulvey says his April 2014 CD, "SILVER LADDER," is the best thing I've ever made." SILVER LADDER is an auditory shot in the arm from veteran touring songwriter Mulvey. It is a lean, muscular collection of tightly constructed songs, leavening Mulvey's tendency toward ruminative and yearning acoustic songs with a dose of sharp-witted, punchy rock and roll.
Mulvey is a walking secret handshake. He has been the street-singing kid in Dublin, the man fronting the storming electric band, the conspiratorial spoken-word craftsman, the Tin Pan Alley delver, an instigator in the occasional Redbird collective, and all through it he has remained the traveler out on the road, bringing his music to audiences from Fairbanks to Bilbao, Santa Monica to Montreal, in clubs, theaters, coffeeshops, the Kennedy Center, and old barns.
Mulvey continues to travel, ears open and wide awake, through the unlimited territory of music. Honing his musicianship, his phrasing, his ability to inhabit a song, he has come into his own, with a sound full of grit and warmth, at the same time startling and familiar.
Playing solo, with Redbird, or with his studio band, the Crumbling Beauties, he continues his restless search for the elusive moment when a song comes alive through the alchemical combining of an audience, a performer, and the song itself.
"The eclectic range of Mulvey's tireless past pays handsome dividends on this stylistically sweeping, LA-recorded album." - Gavin Martin, Uncut
"Singularly gifted" -MOJO
"Peter Mulvey is all substance, which is his style." Boston Globe
