  • Bio

    I am a German-American free lance guitarist and relocated to New York City from Berlin (Germany) in 2004. Growing up in a small village in Bavaria (Germany) I came across the guitar at the age of 8. As a teenager I started a band with a school buddy of mine. It was a thrilling experience. After a few years we had this 10-piece Funk/Rock/Jazz band and we ended up playing in front of 4000 people as an opener for the Billy Cobham band. After that I decided to become a professional musician. I enrolled at the Guitar-Institute of Munich and went on to Berklee College of Music, were I graduated in '95. After my years at Berklee I studied briefly with Jerry Bergonzi and also anticipated in workshops with Steve Khan, Frank Gambale, Kurt Rosenwinkel and Curt Verheyen. I relocated to New York in 2004 and was working as a solo- and showband guitarist for Princess Cruise Lines until November 2006. These days I perform around New York with my own duo, featuring Bill Mead/ Andy O'Neill on drums. I also improvise live along silent movies (Fritz Lang's "Metropolis"). A funny coincidence in 2008 made it happen to play a guitar duo show (with my friend Kent Thompson) for German countess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis. Furthermore I collaborated with the remarkable singer/songwriter Emily Anne Smith ("Emme and the Swedes") including our featured guest persussionist Gerardo Velez (Jimi Hendrix "Band of Gypsis, David Bowie, Sir Elton John, Nile Rodgers, Spyro Gyra,etc) and was very fortunate to perform with greats like bassist Marc Peterson (Cassandra Wilson, Lyle Lovett) and percussionist Hahlil (Roberta Flack). My friend Heather Sullivan, a great singer/songwriter from L.A. made it happen. Thanks Heather! I also tour in Europe with my German/Austrian improvisational Quartett Conundrum which I co-lead with viennese sax player Clemens Salesny. From 2007 - 2009 I composed music for the mutlimedia literary webzine The Mad Hatters' Review. Do check them out! I was honored to be voted as Guitar Player of the week in November 2007 by GuitarPlayerZen.com. I great and very supportive online magazine! You can read the entire interview under the following link http://www.guitarplayerzen.com/2007/11/07/featured-guitar-player-of-the-week-peter-knoll/ I am also very thankful to Daniel D'ottavio. He is the tremendously talented photographer who created my new pictures. "....Peter is a world class player, and even better, he has his own unique style and voice. Something that rarely one finds. His improvisational playing is truly inspiring!"

    Hallo Peter,
    na, grade seh ich, daß Du in Passau spielst!! Das ist ja ein Ding, da wär ich ja echt gerne dabei... rückblickend dachte ich mir so, daß ich vielleicht doch DIE Johanna bin, die Du in Verbindung mit Passau abgespeichert hattest, sooo viele "Passau-Johannen" gibt's ja auch nicht..;)...
    hab noch einen sehr schönen, weiteren Deutschland-Aufenthalt, einen feinen Gig und nachwievor auf bald...
