Grows up in Nebraska the youngest of five children. At the age of four begins writing songs, and has ever since (except for self-imposed sabbatical between the ages of 7 and 10 when he liked football instead). After a couple years of piano lessons he teaches himself guitar. By high school he can also play saxophone and drums, most likely due to having few musical brethren in that cultural cistern. Moves to Boston, eventually hooks up as a keyboardist in a band Psycho-Tec, which eventually fires its lead singer and becomes Think Tree, with Peter now as lead vocalist/songwriter. After two European tours, MTV and commercial radio airplay, opening for Nine Inch Nails, this unique and ground-breaking band yields notable but mild success. Ever a cult favorite, they breakup in 94, and remaining members Peter, Jeff and Will form Count Zero, still in existence today. Although these projects are Peter's most visible creative expression, they only consume a tenth of his total songwriting output. He begins performing solo shows of his own unreleased material, ca. 1998. He accompanies his singing with piano and kick drum, and the songs are often interspersed with interstitial dialogue. He has just completed his first solo record, called "One Ride" based on the cycle of one boy's love relationship. |
