<b>Rock and roll Blues.</b> <b>I had someone I really love and respect</b> <b>tell me that our music is like</b> <b>being at a party.</b> <b>And you miss someone,</b> <b>but you're still having a good time.</b> <b>But it makes</b> <b>you think of a lot of your loved ones.</b> <b>They're still there.</b> <b>So it's, It's pretty cool</b> <b>how it connects with everybody.</b> <b>Very soulful.</b> <b>When I was four years old,</b> <b>the record started with my dad, and,</b> <b>I loved the drums</b> <b>and I loved anything bluesy.</b> <b>So I played a lot of, Stevie Wonder and,</b> <b>Otis Redding and Sam Cooke and,</b> <b>And I used to play the blues with my dad.</b> <b>My dad plays lead really good.</b> <b>I was in his band from when I was ten</b> <b>till I was 20 years old,</b> <b>and I'm really a drummer, so I was playing</b> <b>drums with him and singing.</b> <b>Well,</b> <b>everyone in my band, we have a real job.</b> <b>Oh yeah.</b> <b>You know, I was a full time</b> <b>respiratory therapist and,</b> <b>the drummer, he was selling furniture.</b> <b>And Jesse,</b> <b>he works in the music shop.

But.</b> <b>So the whole story of the movie</b> <b>hook burying Peter,</b> <b>he forgot he was Peter</b> <b>Pan and grew up and became a lawyer.</b> <b>And he even is afraid of heights.</b> <b>Anyway,</b> <b>so we forgot we wanted to be musicians.</b> <b>And now we go to Neverland.</b> <b>When we down,</b> <b>in Bangor and Peter tonight, we have.</b> <b>Ethan is on the drums, my lover,</b> <b>the drummer, and then Jesse Blue.</b> <b>He's on the bass.</b> <b>He's our Peter Pan, and, he's</b> <b>my best friend.</b> <b>He's incredible.</b> <b>Most of the guitars you'll see tonight,</b> <b>he made.</b> <b>And then,</b> <b>I got, Orlando de Silva on lead guitar.</b> <b>He's an incredible</b> <b>Puerto Rican from England.</b> <b>I can't wait for you to hear him.</b> <b>He really brings the songs more rocking.</b> <b>And then my handsome, talented son, Silas</b> <b>Rich, he's on the</b> <b>keys singing backup with me.</b> <b>Kind of put this show together.</b> <b>It was hard because as a band, we have</b> <b>about six, seven hours of originals,</b> <b>mainly every where we play.</b> <b>I mean, bamboo</b> <b>wellies, purple period tiki bar.</b> <b>They've been really receptive.</b> <b>We got a pretty good following.</b> <b>So we play mainly originals,</b> <b>but I'd throw in, you know, Janis Joplin</b> <b>and Sam Sam Cooke and Sublime,</b> <b>but mainly all originals.</b> <b>I love Janis Joplin,</b> <b>Tina Turner, Sam Cooke.</b> <b>But as an adult, I've been really inspired</b> <b>mainly by a lot of local musicians.</b> <b>But there's a lot of places around here</b> <b>that do, original music.</b> <b>And, I don't know if you heard about</b> <b>shredding the shed, but that's how I found</b> <b>a lot of local musicians</b> <b>and Elijah Stevenson, Ed</b> <b>Adams, these are incredible</b> <b>musicians that are around here.</b> <b>Otherwise, his name are.

But</b> <b>Cletus Bean and, I've been really inspired</b> <b>by local talent that it's cool to watch.</b> <b>It's good to hear,</b> <b>and it makes me want to write more when I.</b> <b>Oh, no, it's kind of like water.</b> <b>I need water to drink all day.</b> <b>If I don't, I'm thirsty.</b> <b>And if I don't play music, I'm just not.</b> <b>I'm just not mentally</b> <b>okay.</b> <b>Really, it's a good way</b> <b>for me to get out of my head and.

And,</b> <b>I don't know, like, breathe in.</b> <b>Yeah.</b> <b>The music,</b> <b>my children are music is so cool.</b> <b>I get to jam with my kids.</b> <b>It's just been something</b> <b>I've done my whole life.</b> <b>And when I didn't do it,</b> <b>it was when there's a weird world,</b> <b>usually when I'm writing a song, it's</b> <b>something that hits me in my head</b> <b>and then I gotta figure it</b> <b>out on the guitar.</b> <b>But sometimes lately, a lot of the songs</b> <b>tonight on on studio amp,</b> <b>I wrote with my band</b> <b>because we just be at an open mic jamming</b> <b>and they'd get something going,</b> <b>and then I just write lyrics</b> <b>and then a couple of songs</b> <b>we wrote on stage and a couple of gigs</b> <b>just, just write mood, write people,</b> <b>and you can write some good stuff.</b> <b>I think my guys are really ready</b> <b>to be on the festival tour.</b> <b>We just played our</b> <b>first festival Saturday, and,</b> <b>I think they're ready to go on tour.</b> <b>I'd like for them to be able to quit</b> <b>their day jobs and just just do music.</b> <b>I've been lucky.</b> <b>I've been doing music</b> <b>full time now for almost three years,</b> <b>but, I'm ready for them to be able to go.</b> <b>And I'd love to go to Europe.</b> <b>I want to get back there.</b> <b>I grew up in Crete,</b> <b>so I gotta show my guys where I'm from.</b> <b>And the main thing is getting followers,</b> <b>because a lot of emails,</b> <b>they say, well,</b> <b>how many followers do you have?</b> <b>And they'll look us up and they'll see</b> <b>how many followers on Instagram</b> <b>and Facebook and how many people</b> <b>are listening to Spotify.</b> <b>And if they think they could make,</b> <b>you know, money,</b> <b>then they'll put us out there.</b> <b>So it takes a lot.</b> <b>If you really like somebody</b> <b>to go and follow them,</b> <b>at least on their websites, you know,</b> <b>and it'll help us book bigger gigs.</b> <b>Thank Peter can be found on all platforms.</b> <b>Spotify, Apple Music.</b> <b>We have an album out that we,</b> <b>we recorded in Muscle Shoals</b> <b>and it's called Eat This.</b> <b>We also have some albums for sale.</b> <b>You can find at all</b> <b>our shows when we're out and about.</b> <b>Thank you for having us.</b> <b>Thank you so much.</b> <b>I can't wait to get up there and play</b> <b>with, my best friends and my and my son.</b> <b>So I'm very blessed today.</b> <b>And, thank you very.</b>
