Singer-songwriter Peter Mulvey injects a contemporary edginess into his writing, distilling funk, folk, and rock influences into songs that are dark, quirky, lyrical, and ethereal. The Wisconsin native apprenticed as a street musician in Ireland before immersing himself in Boston's booming acoustic music scene as a subway and club performer, making a name for himself with his guitar style that uses unique, bass-heavy tunings, his compelling, husky voice, and his striking blend of ironic wit and earnest passion.

Now back in Milwaukee, Peter continues to augment his writing and performing skills with resonant, unpredictable songs. The full breadth of this remarkable performer's work was recently celebrated in a retrospective CD, Notes from Elsewhere (Signature Sounds), a collection of solo takes on songs Peter has written and performed over his 15-year recording career.

Charming folk/singer-songwriter Lila Nelson opens tonight's show.
