Peter Mulvey

Milwaukee native Peter Mulvey began his career in the folk-rock band Big Sky but quickly took his solo act on the road, relocating first to Ireland and then to Boston, where he spent time honing his craft in the subway (a venue he revisited for 2002’s Ten Thousand Mornings). Since the early ’90s, Mulvey has recorded a series of critically acclaimed albums, narrated PBS documentaries, and played shows everywhere from coffeehouses to the Kennedy Center. In 2009 he released Letters From A Flying Machine, which intersperses songs showcasing his first-rate guitar work with spoken-word pieces addressed to his nieces and nephews. In 2010, his group with Jeffrey Foucault and Kris Delmhorst, Redbird, released Redbird Live At The Café Carpe.
