Online Staff Report
Peter Mulvey with special guest Brianna Lane will appear in a concert event presented by Snapshotmusic and Katie’s Cup at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 10, at Katie’s Cup, 502 Seventh St., Rockford.
“I like making records,” reflects songwriter Mulvey, “but my job is the live show: getting up in a room and taking people somewhere.”
For the past several years, Peter has done an annual fall tour entirely by bicycle (this year’s tour sponsored by Terra Trike www.terratrike.com [2]), partly for environmental reasons and partly for the sheer fun of continuing his creative, unorthodox approach to a long and fruitful career as an artist.
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.
Said The Irish Times: “Peter Mulvey is consistently the most original and dynamic of the U.S. singer-songwriters to tour these shores. 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 even 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 audience have brought to the table that night.
“People need this,” Mulvey said. “I need this. To come together in a room, to try to make music come alive, for real, for right now, and then to let it go … that is the whole deal for me.”
