We're thrilled to welcome back one of England's finest traditional folk song
performers. "A multi-talented
musician who just seems to get better and better" (Folk Northwest),
Brian Peters brings together passionate singing with masterful playing on
concertina, button accordion, and guitar. While specializing in the great
ballads of the British Isles, he also captivates audiences with songs he
has written in the traditional style, and with excursions into ragtime and
blues. Brian is recognized "through his research, playing and teaching
of rare tunes" as a mover of Northern English dance music. He teaches
instrumental and singing techniques at festivals worldwide, and reviews
English and world music for magazines such as "The Living Tradition."
Several reviewers rate his most recent "Different Tongues"
CD as his best ever. Join us to hear Brian plunge deeply into the spirit
of old English songs and deliver them to us with a fresh twist.
