Peter  is a Canadian singer and songwriter, often times referred to as "Ontario's Musical Historian". Many of his songs are about people and places in Ontario, but also to of Canada, and elsewhere.
      Peter paints a musical canvas with many colours and scenes. His common thread is telling of those people he has met, or of history, as well as places travelled to. Peter uses a varied pallet of musical styles, to write his stories on a broad musical canvas. Do not pin him down to one style. His music is folk/country at it's base with many undertones.

The Many Moods Of Christmas


A Christmas Gift for you
Peter sings a variety of styles on this album from Country, Light Rock, Latin, Calypso, Traditional and Blues. Each song captures the spirit of Christmas and demonstrates Peter's versaltility as a recording artist and songwriter.


 
 
In The Spirit Of Christmas
Peter's musical influences come from a variety of styles and you will enjoy many of them on this album. Songs, such as "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "The Huron Carol", keep true to the traditional Christmas music we have enjoyed for many years. Peter's  diverse talent as a songwriter can be heard on his original songs - "Old Fashioned Christmas", "Snow on Christmas Morning", "Christmas Day", "Truckin' Home Christmas Night", "How I Love a Country Christmas" and "Christmas Away".  Some of the songs will mellow out the listener, while others will have you tapping your toes or banging on the table. For those of you who love bluegrass, listen to Peter's rendition of "Go Tell It On The Mountain". 

Peter is currently receiving great response from the European country radio market to this new release and will be on rotation in Germany, France, England, Holland, Denmark and Scotland during this holiday season. Looking forward to our mail out to Canadian radio late October '99, fans will be able to purchase this new CD at HMV stores across Canada and request airplay on their local radio station. Also, this CD can be purchased thorugh our On-line store at Ambassador Records. Thank you.
( Paul Evans, President, Ambassador Records)
