Originally
from the coast of California, Peter Burg lives in the mountains of
Colorado. Influenced by the beach sound and pop megalopolis culture of
LA and juxtaposed with the pure simplicity and uncomplicated life style
of a rather isolated mountain town, he has been bending and twisting
country and blues of Southern Colorado into his own brand of
songstering. He had grown up in the blues of suburbia, with all the
trappings, baggage, and luxuries of suburban dysfunctional family unit.
He spent several years negotiating the Hollywood music jungle and then
ventured off, leaving behind the smog, traffic, crowds, and
mega-stress, to try his luck with his own family unit. After many years
of performing cover material in numerous bands and the unsatisfying
results of not doing his own songs, he started his own band, Peter Burg
& Blue Suburban. Peter’s songs became an exorcising of internal
demons. Songs that documented the reconstructing and working out his
new life. The proverbially snake shedding it’s skin, it became for him
a celebration of surviving the vicissitudes that the world can
manifest. His blues…a Colorado blues, (Roots Music), a blues that
encompasses elements of traditional blues forms, rock-a-billy, country
swing, and rock’n roll, with the occasional surf twang, and folk
elements. This became the vehicle through which his frustration with
relationships, employment, income, living in a societal maze, all while
trying to hold on to the thin thread of being an artist, is vented.
This thread reaches back and ties Peter to other artists he has had the
opportunity to play with such as Mondell Lowell, Hollywood Fats, Katey
Sagal, and those artist he had the chance to open for such as, Doug
Kirshaw, Chris Smithers, Diamond Rio, Gary Primich, Buddy Whittington,
Erica Brown, Dan Treanor and Frankie Lee, and Sonny Landreth.
Currently, Peter has embarked on a solo venture with his latest
release, Dizzy Light.
Rick Terlep is a guitarist from Pueblo, Colorado, who
has composed the music for the Blues Opera SATAN’S PREACHER MAN, and was a
