Peter Prince & Moon Boot Lover w/ Space Trash

About this event

Peter Prince is widely recognized in the independent music scene with fans from all walks of life and generations, including many respected celebrity-level musicians. To date, Prince has released seven original work albums, written hundreds of songs and compositions, and has honed a broad range of advanced level skills across songwriting, production, performance, and visual arts. He currently performs live at diverse venues — from premier nightclubs to colleges and festivals, with a rotation of top notch players behind him — delivering an incredible show, proven to impress even the most skeptical audiences. He is also actively writing and recording new music, for entertainment as well as commercial publishing, licensing and special projects.

Peter’s musical saga began in New York City in 1993, with Peter at the helm as lead vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter of Moon Boot Lover — a power-packed ensemble consisting of Alan Evans (Soulive), and Owen Yost (Tommy James), and later joined by keyboardist Neal Evans (Soulive) and bassist John Hawes (Percy Hill). The band swiftly gained popularity in the emerging independent jam band scene, with Peter honored to co-host the first annual Jammys — an awards ceremony presented by Jambands.com and Relix Magazine, along with Jambands.com Editor-in-Chief Dean Budnick.

In 1997, band members went their separate ways to pursue diverse stylistic paths while Peter continued to build on the spark lit under the namesake of Moon Boot Lover, along with plenty of side projects and solo endeavors as well. Leveraging a deep network of talented players, and attracting a wide cast of crew members rotating in and out of MBL’s lineup — Peter has remained the indomitable source of musical gravity as Lover’s perpetual front man — orbited over the years by such notable talents as drummers Andy Herrick (Assembly of Dust), Mike “Slam” Dunkle and Swiss Chris (John Legend), bassists Nate Edgar (John Brown’s Body, The Nth Power) and Jeremiah Hosea (James Blood Ulmer, Gloria Gaynor, and Earthdriver), and keyboardist Jeff Merrow.

After spending two years fronting Peter Prince & The Trama Unit (2001-2003) — a Muscle Shoals-influenced project that featured Johnny Trama (Ghosts of Jupiter), Eric Kalb (Charlie Hunter, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings), and the Benevento/Russo Duo — Peter resumed the mission he first launched back in 1993 with Moon Boot Lover: writing, recording, and performing what might only be described as his very own brand of “Rock-ET Soul” — an electrifying blend of the enchantment of Al Green, the guitar wizardry of Jimi Hendrix, the spellbinding songwriting of Jim Croce, and the rock grandeur of Grand Funk Railroad and Led Zeppelin.
