One of Fort St. John’s most loved musicians is back at Whole Wheat n’ Honey once again. The show is $15 in advance and $20 at the door. You can buy advance tickets online at www.northerngroove.com or at Whole Wheat n’ Honey.
Peter Katz, one of Canada’s most well-loved singersongwriters, is bringing his folk, roots, and pop music to Whole Wheat n’ Honey on Saturday, April 17 for an intimate show. Fort St. John’s own Ryan Hennessey will be opening the night (fun fact: Peter sang harmonies on ‘Simply Beautiful’, a track from Ryan’s new album Every Word You Say). Peter Katz recently released the album First of the Last to Know, and the first day of itunes sales for Peter (March 16), the album rose to the #1 position on the itunes singer-songwriter chart. The album was produced by Rob Szabo and features Academy Award Winner Glen Hansard (The Swell Season, Once), Canadian Folk darlings The Good Lovelies, and steel-town siren Melissa McClelland. Peter is the winner of the CBC Galazie Rising Star Award and the Grand Prize Winner of Toronto’s IndieWeek. He plays 150+ dates a year, and this remarkable grassroots
effort has resulted in him independently selling over 10,000 copies of his discs from the stage and landing support spots with such notable artists as Bedouin Soundclash, Tokyo Poilce Club, The Cat Empire, Jeremy Fisher, Danny Michel, Craig Cardiff, Tomi Swick, Murray McLachlan, among others. Recent activity for Peter includes 5 successful national tours of Canada, a tour of the UK and Ireland, a tour of the Netherlands, with Dutch star Lucky Fonz III, a tour of Germany, the re-release of his record More Nights on Cure/Universal Music, a special invitation by the National Arts Centre to play in Vimy, France as part of the 90th anniversary rededication ceremony of the Vimy Monument, as well as the invitation to perform alongside the legendary Garth Hudson on his upcoming tribute to ‘The Band’.
