TV theme songs, Irving berlin, Kermit the frog (ok, all the muppets), Woody, Phil Ochs, my Daughter, Riley Pucket, Louis Armstrong, Bill Monroe, Utah Phillips, My Dog Lucy, Pete Seeger, Miles Davis, John Williams, Bob Wills, Jimmy Carter(?), Joe Hill, The Beatles, Run DMC, Jimi Hendrix......
Sounds Like
old time, an old rocking chair, if vaudeville were around today, circus music, hip hop, a singer songwriter that doesn't like singer songwriters, folk music on drugs, Riley Pucket
Peter Siegel--OK--giving up the traditional bio but this is me-a bit too out there for the folk world, not cool enough for prime time.
First of all let me say that my main movie these days is addressing that fact that we are living in the latter days of the Roman Empire. Take that any way you'd like. That said, here's my history:
_____________________________________________________________________________
So, I was born in the NYC suburbs, grew up around Pete Seeger and the Sloop Clearwater, Deep down I'm a folkie. My bread and butter is dances, music schools and camps, weddings and Bar Mitzfahs. My passion is music that challenges our notion of reality and power and personally challenges the notion of what's considered folk. My inspiration is my communist grandparents, Phil Ochs, Run DMC, Miles Davis, The Beatles, Looney Tunes, Led Zeppelin, old time music, and TV theme songs and Jingles. OK. I'm a product of the multi media.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Recently (the last 10 years) I've been touring solo and hanging and in the trad scene of the Pioneer Valley of Western Mass. playing dances and concerts with bunches of musicians--The Greenfield Dance Band, Beverwyck String Band, Les Z Boys, occasionally the likes of Wild Asparagus, used to play with a band called Underbelly-- yada yada

e Folk Music Society of N.Y. was delighted to host your Broadway debut. The audience enjoyed Housetop's excellent vocal harmonies and instrumental arrangements as well as the sparkling choice of songs and tunes, and very smooth stage presence.
Thanks for the add, Peter, and for all you do to keep the music alive! Missed you at last year's Taunton River Folk Festival, hope you can make it this year (Oct. 9-12). Peter Stampfel, Eli Smith and John Cohen will be there and your presence would make it one monster pickin' jam!
Kindest regards from Jack Radcliffe and "the gang" at Wepecket Island Records.
Hello Vermont!...Just letting you know I'll be playing 3 dates in your lovely state with my band this weekend. Hope you can make it.
