'Peter writes very smart songs, but the nice
thing about them is they don't feel smart while you're listening to
them. There's a lot of fun in them but also wisdom, which is the sort of
thing that rewards repeated listening.' -Minnesota Public Radio
'Mayer's songs are crafted like Shaker furniture, with no place for
superfluous embellishment or throwaway lines.' - Acoustic Guitar
Magazine
'This native of Minnesota is a master storyteller' - Folks
Roots Magazine
Mountains and motorcycles; pigs, pubs, and planets;
insight, hope and humor--such are the ingredients one finds in the songs
of Peter Mayer. Earthy and intimate, Mayer's songs invite the listener
to consider the deeper aspects of life. The standard lyrical dish of
love lost and found is not on his menu, rather, it consists of an
eclectic blend of thoughtful songs about the collective human journey.
His welcoming voice and inventive guitar work along with his honest
delivery provide the perfect vehicle for his down-home wisdom. Peter's
