Coffee Beat with Joe Peters
Saturday, March 18
7-8:30pm
Joe Peters grew up in the Midwest in the 60s and 70s. His songs hearken back to a time when young people sought the experience of peace, love and adventure and expressed this search in their music. Joe hopes to rekindle in others that spark of the truth seeker that was awakened in him long ago by the songs of other introspective writers. Many of his songs are influenced by oriental philosophies and were written while living and working overseas. His song "Sail Away" won top honors at the First Annual Blooming-Tunes songwriting contest in 2009.
