Peter Moon
Feb 2003
You
don't so much hear a Peter Moon song - You feel it...
With a haunting voice and a language
all his own, Peter writes about beauty, heartbreak,
humor and survival with a distinct interest in love,
sex and spiritual searching Fans often compare his
intense, hook driven pop- rock to "Edwin McCain
but with better lyrics." Peter cites Counting
Crows, Tom Petty, Daniel Lanois and The Police as
influences.
Since 1998, his talents have found
a home in Nashville, where he has maintained a purposeful
distance from the public glare while recording some
of the most movingly personal songs of his career.
His forthcoming indie cd "I AM THE ELEPHANT MAN"
bristles with moody vocals, compelling beats, jangly
guitars and shimmering harmonies.
When asked about why he chooses
music, he says "I don't do it for fame or fortune.
I do it because if I didn't, I would explode!!!"
And Peter explodes on stage...
A recent show in Orlando sparked
the interest of Unity Pictures @ Universal Studios,
FL and film director Kip Erickson (Backstreet Boys).
The result, Peter's first music video for his single
"I Want", currently airing twice daily on
the hit music program Video Music Review.
Peter has excited audiences in clubs
and coffeehouses throughout the Southeast, both with
his band and as a solo acoustic act. Other highlights
include opening shows for RB Morris and John Prine
at the prestigious Ruth Eckerd Hall, appearances on
WFLA- TV Channel 8 (Tampa) and radio play on WMNF,
WDCF (Florida) and WOUI (Chicago).
A prolific writer and dynamic performer,
Peter's songs have received national attention, both
in 1997 for the song "Missouri Rain" on
the Discmaker's Independent Music World Series CD
and again in 1998 for the song "Say My Name,"
released by A|C artist Lori Lawton, winning praise
from renowned music journalist Robert K.Oerman. Peter's
3 song demo prompted million selling producer Jim
Cotton (Alabama, Billy Ray Cyrus) to remark "I
love this shit! You've got something to be excited
about."
So do music audiences everywhere...
