My guest today is Peter Calo, guitarist, singer/songwriter, film
score composer, and truly, a man of HEART! Peter’s parents were
refugees from Europe during WWII and spent 2 years in a Siberian
prison camp, eventually moving to a small farming community in
Alberta Canada. Years later, Peter’s family moved to Boston, where
Peter, as a teenager, jump-started his music career. His rich,
expansive music career has included performing/recording with such
diverse artists as Carly Simon, Dionne Warwick, Queen Latifah,
Willie Nelson, and Hall & Oates. In fact, Peter has been playing
and writing with Carly Simon since 1990! His range of genres and
venues: from classical to soul; opera stage to biker bar; sideman
to songwriter; film scores to Broadway; coliseums to intimate jazz
cellars, capture Peter’s enthusiasm to find the joy in every gig.
He is grateful to be invited to the party of life!
In addition to his music, Peter brings his large heart to lessons
learned from his wife, and their 3 daughters. You are in for a
special treat: during the recording of the podcast, Peter plays an
impromptu performance of his brand new song about Leonardo DaVinci,
called “When You Drew A Line”. My husband, Paul Adamy accompanies
him on acoustic bass. I trust you, too will be moved by his music
and lyrics, they certainly touch my soul!
Check the show notes for video links of a few of his songs as well
as a link to Peter’s website to find his CDs and announcements for
upcoming shows. Enjoy the podcast!
