Peter Squires Hitting The Road

10/29/2009
. (Musebox) When you combine honest lyrics, raw acoustic strummings and straightforward vocals ripe with sadness and humor � you get Brooklyn-based Peter Squires' new album. Woe Is Me features urban tales of heartbreak and betrayal set against carefully stripped-down folk songs full of raw emotion. Delicate layers of guitar and minor percussive flairs create a minimalist sound with enduring beauty.

Peter's direct and honest vocal delivery is reminiscent of contemporaries such as Kimya Dawson and Luke Temple. The album is all heart, laid bare for our aural pleasure. Woe Is Me was recorded in Peter Squires' Brooklyn bedroom and is available on his website for fans to download at no charge. The first video from the album is "Witch" and it was just released in time for the Halloween season.

Peter will be kicking off a nationwide tour on November 15th, playing intimate venues all over the country. Please see below for tour dates.
