The Bros. Landreth • Peter Mulvey
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
The Bros. Landreth are a Canadian roots rock quintet whose sound combines harmony-rich Americana, bluesy R&B, U.S singer/songwriter traditions, and the folk heritage of the northern prairies. Dave and Joey Landreth grew up in a musical household. Their father, Wally, is a renowned Winnipeg musician and songwriter and a go-to for backing touring musicians on tour, including Amos Garrett. As babies, their mothers would bring them in a bassinet to their father's bar gigs.
A contemporary singer/songwriter who draws broadly from folk, rock, and jazz with a propensity for contemporary folk, Peter Mulvey has lived an artist's life since adolescence — he was a college theater major, spent time busking in Dublin, Ireland, and founded the Milwaukee band Big Sky, all before his early twenties. But his professional music career didn't really begin until 1991 when he was fired from a job at a Kinko's copy shop in Boston. Flat broke and needing immediate cash to entertain his visiting brother, Mulvey started playing his guitar in the subway.
