Peter Sean Maloney is a singer/songwriter based in Los Angeles. His musical influences range from acoustic troubadours of the sixties like Donovan, Nick Drake, and Bert Jansch to new romantic, dream pop artists from the eighties and nineties.
Peter draws on the use fingerpicking and alternate tunings, as well as the breathy vocals and delicate melodies of the English songwriters, while lyrically he is inspired by authors like Blake, Byron, Kafka, and Dostoyevsky. He also plays a variety of string instruments including violin, viola, and mandolin providing a mix of chamber and celtic arrangements.
Currently, Peter is performing solo around Los Angeles promoting his debut CD entitled: "the calm before the stillness", while he is finishing up on a forthcoming album.

An elf -- I rather like that. I even wanted pointy ears when I was a kid! I'm glad I had a chance to meet you and Tanya. You have a lovely, soothing voice by the way. :)
