Hi - Gary Peterson here. I just released an album of acoustic guitar solos called Amber Burst. You can download a few of those 60s pop tune covers here on SoundClick. Thank you
I've played in clubs, coffee houses, street corners, garden parties, kindergartens and college campuses off and on since the Summer of Love.
I don't play out much anymore but it's not out of the question.
I have had many influences, mostly guitarists, including Chet Atkins, John Renbourn, Jimi Hendrix, and my Uncle Wilbert Leppanen.
My first guitar had a cowboy painted on it. I had a '61 Gibson Les Paul Custom that I traded for my B-25 acoustic during the folk music scare of '68. I also play one of my handmade Peterson acoustics and a Godin electric. But my new Gibson J-45 Custom Amber Burst inspired me to record this latest album.
I'm also an artist and author but my first love is music. Please also listen to my work with
