“Gleefully mercurial…equal parts breezy jazz and whispery folk. His voice feels like fine old leather, and his guitar sounds like it’s on steroids…a superb technician with a fondness for ignoring the rules…a genre-defying traditionalist — a knuckleballer with finger-picks.”
— The Boston Globe

Over the past 20 years, Peter Mulvey has pursued an eclectic path as a writer and musician, performing on the streets of Dublin, the subways of Boston and touring as a headliner. He formed a folk music supergroup called Redbird with Kris Delmhorst, David Goodrich and Jeffrey Foucault. He’s shared the stage with Emmylou Harris, Richard Thompson, Ani DiFranco and Indigo Girls. His work also finds him collaborating with theatre and dance companies, and teaching guitar and songwriting workshops.

In every aspect of his career, Mulvey draws on an extremely broad swath of influence; he is always reading, listening and eager to hear new poetry, modern minimalist composers, old-time fiddle tunes, Argentinean trip-hop, or top-shelf bar bands.

The Irish Times: “Peter Mulvey is a phenomenal performer with huge energy, a quick fire, quirky take on life, and an extraordinary guitar style. A joy to see.”

Still, it is the live performance that defines that work. Night after night, whether performing solo, duo (with David “Goody” Goodrich), or sometimes with a band, Mulvey attempts to be the sum of his parts, to draw on all the musical legacies he has studied, to make a fresh, vital moment out of everything he and the audience have brought to the table that night.

For three years now, Peter has done an annual Fall tour entirely by bicycle, partly for environmental reasons and partly for the sheer fun of continuing his creative, unorthodox approach to a long and fruitful artistic career.
