Meeting House Presents Peter Mayer
Tickets are available at the door. Pay with cash or check.
Peter Mayer writes songs for a small planet - songs about interconnectedness and the human journey; about the beauty and mystery of the world. Whimsical, humorous, and profound, his music breaks the boundaries of folk, and transcends to a realm beyond the everyday love song, to a place of wonder at the very fact of life itself.
Peter began playing the guitar and writing songs when he was in high school. In college he studied theology and music, and then spent two years in seminary. Afterward he took a part-time job as a church music director while performing at clubs and colleges, and writing and recording his music. In 1995, he quit his job and started performing full-time. Since then, Peter has gradually gained a dedicated, word-of-mouth following, playing shows from Minnesota to Texas, New England to California. He has ten albums to his credit, and has sold over 80 thousand of them independently.
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 sentimentPeter does nothing less than address the very nature of our existenceTrust me, most songwriters cant pull this off. Peter Mayer does.
