Eleanor: Your cat's dead.
Steve: What? Which one?
Eleanor: Marmalade. I'm sorry.
Steve: What happened?
Eleanor: A rattlesnake bit it in the throat.
Steve: Goddamn it, Eleanor, why do you have to say it like that? You couldn't try to break it a little bit nicer?
Steve: She's a rich bitch, you know. She was raised by maids. Her parents paid for this island and two of my worst movies. People say she's the brains behind Team Zissou.
Ned: People say a lot of things. What kind of cat was it?
Steve: Who gives a shit..............

Steve: I think it was a tabby.

Brad Peterson - Facts & Stuff

Location: Chicago, IL - Ukrainian Village
Vocation: singer/songwriter
Genre: alt-pop-country-rock
Influences: too many bad ones and some that I've been under...

Brad Peterson invites you to hear his most heartfelt and melodically compelling body of work to date:

The Red Album:
Steeped in warm tones, evocative lyrical imagery and haunting melodies, The Red Album succeeds in channeling some of the great recordings of the 60's, with a wistful and bittersweet touch.  Lyrically, The Red Album draws on memories over the course of Brad's life - giving voice to the songwriter's creative vision.

Having spent much of the last several years -devoting his time to producing and recording fellow artists, BP has just recently thrown himself back into his own orbit. With the Red Album, Peterson emerges with an honest enthusiasm and vocal power. Listen to The Red Album and you will hear a songwriter who truly is wearing his heart on his sleeve.

As a founding member of critically acclaimed, college radio darlings "Peatmoss" in the mid-90s, Brad has toured and played with Jeff Buckley, Cake, The Wallflowers, Alanis Morrisette and The Dave Matthews Band - to name a few. In performance settings ranging from solo acoustic to full band, Brad has cultivated a loyal grass roots following, from LA's Viper Room to New York's CBGBs (and many points in between).

The thrilling band playing live with Brad these days includes Grammy-award winner (and member of Keith Richards' band) John Pirrucello on pedal-steel guitar, drummer Larry Beers (formerly, Sonia Dada), the excellent Mike Troglia on guitar and brother Ted Peterson on bass and backing vocals.

About Brad's music:
Time Out: "a miracle of an album."
Chicago Tribune: "a pop gem"
Jeff Buckley: "Brad has an amazing voice"
Chicago Reader: "Excruciatingly tasteful and pretty"
Chicago Tribune: "The band to hear"
All Music Guide: "Peterson's voice takes on a certain raspy delicacy"
Daily Herald: "energetic, soul-powered vocals"
The Chicagoist: "Peterson's new songs burn slow and hot as magnesium"
Chicago Sun Times: "cool vocals and Dylan-esque songwriting"

For a limited time, the entire Red Album is available for free download on www.bradpeterson.com.

Brad - THANKS so much for coming out last night. I don't think the band has ever been more vexed by a tech difficulty, but it was great to have you in the audience.
