About
Little Folks audiences are in for a joyful, music-filled morning with Peter Davis.
Peter is a true musical shapeshifter—he plays an astonishing range of instruments (clarinet, alto sax, 5-string & tenor banjos, piano, tenor and 6-string guitar, whistle, and hulu-si) and brings an intuitive, playful approach to traditional folk, blues, jazz, vintage pop, and more.
His performances are warm, interactive, and full of surprises, inviting kids and grownups alike to sing along, move, and join the fun.
Peter has shared music with families across the country through school residencies, festivals, and community programs, spreading the joy of traditional music and dancing for decades. He has performed nationally and internationally with Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, The Prairie Home Companion House Band, Papa John Phillips, Annie and the Hedonists, the Whippersnappers, the Clayfoot Strutters, and others. For 12 years, Peter was the Program Director of The Flurry Festival of Traditional Music and Dancing. He is known to Capital District audiences as a member of the WAMC Dancing on the Air Orchestra and Reggie's Red Hot Feetwarmers, the house band at Saratoga Race Course each summer. Since 1989, Peter has been on staff at Ashokan Western and Swing Week, where he teaches chord theory, improvisation, and leads dynamic group singing sessions.
