It was the late 1960's on Charles Street in Boston, outside one of the legendary clubs during the folk revival era, when these two new-to-the-scene young musicians first met. They've stayed friends ever since with their paths crossing at folk festivals, concert halls and clubs. Over the years, the two have guest-appeared on each other's record, Chris sang on "Somebody Else" for Loudon's Older Than My Old Man Now record. Then Loudon lent a hand on Chris' 50-year career retrospective recording Still on the Levee (singing on "What They Say").

Peter Mulvey

See Registration/Info
Mulvey is an iconoclast within the singer/songwriter world. Restless and inventive, his seventeen records span rock and roll, folk, Jazz, spoken word, and Americana. Peter Mulvey has been a songwriter, road-dog, raconteur and almost-poet since before he can remember. Raised working-class Catholic on the Northwest side of Milwaukee, he took a semester in Ireland, and immediately began cutting classes to busk on Grafton Street in Dublin and hitchhike through the country, finding whatever gigs he could. Back stateside, he spent a couple years gigging in the Midwest before lighting out for Boston, where he returned to busking (this time in the subway) and coffeehouses. Small shows led to larger shows, which eventually led to regional and then national and international touring. The wheels have not stopped since.
