APRIL14, 2020, THE VILLAGE SUN, by Lincoln Anderson – We first got to know songwriter artist Peter Galperin a few years ago when we interviewed him about his then-new Off-Broadway rock musical on the Village’s all-time villain, “Bulldozer: The Ballad of Robert Moses.” Now Galperin, who lives Uptown, is back with a CD about another nemesis, “Tomorrow Seems Like Yesterday.” Here’s the first cut off of it, the Trump-skewering song “Nature of Your Kind.” The animated video — which “colorizes” real footage — features great visuals, including acrobatic Red Army dancers. The full CD will be released in May. Read the full article...

JANUARY 21, 2020 – My new musical-in-progress about climate change and global warming had it's first table reading at Open Jar Studios in Times Square, with book writer Gregg Ostrin, theatrical manager/producer Aaron Grant, and a roomful of incredible talent, including Drew Lachey (98 Degrees) and Roscoe Orman (Sesame Street).

NOV 1, 2020 – I am very excited to be debuting a song cycle from my new musical-in-progress about climate change. I'll be at Silvana, West Harlem's best music lounge with Patrick Carmichael on drums and Leo Smith on bass, from 7-9pm on Nov. 15. Come and listen to lastofthemannahattas.com before it goes off-Broadway!

SEPT. 1, 2019 - Great locations, cool venues, outstanding wine! Some highlights from my PNW Tour this summer included wonderful shows in Lake Chelan at The Vogue Lounge, Tsillan Cellars, and Benson Vineyards, plus fun gigs in Seattle at the Easy Monkey Taphouse and Tim's Tavern. I want to thank the musicians (BJ Wakkuri, Bruce Pritchard, Larry Johnson, and Brian Butler) and friends (you know who you are!) who joined me on stage (and on the dance floor) for making these shows so much fun for everybody. It was great to see so many familiar PNW faces and meet a bunch of new ones, and I look forward to seeing all of you again next summer!

JULY 26 - AUGUST 11, 2019 - I've been visiting my hometown on these mini-tours on and off for the past 10 years, and this summer's Pacific Northwest tour is shaping up to be the biggest one yet. Starting off with a series of performances in Lake Chelan's wine country (July 26-Vogue Lounge, July 27-Succession Wines, July 28-Benson Vineyards, July 29-Tsillan Cellars), two shows in Seattle at the Easy Monkey Taphouse (July 31 & Aug. 2), a house concert (Aug. 4) in Sandpoint, Idaho on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille, and then back in Seattle for one last show at Tim's Tavern on August 11. I'll be joined on most of the dates by BJ Wakkuri on percussion, and we might even pick up a few surprise musical guests along the way. I expect to see a lot of familiar faces, so this should be lots of fun for everyone. Plan your summer vacation accordingly! Visit the "events" page for venue addresses and exact showtimes.

JAN. 28, 2019, MWE3.COM, by Robert Steven Silverstein – Back in 2017, just after the release of This Burning Sun, NYC-based singer-songwriter and recording artist, Peter Galperin told mwe3.com about his proposed rock opera depicting the heyday of NYC master builder Robert Moses and now in early 2019, Bulldozer, the CD is a reality. Although the Off-Broadway production received rave reviews in 2018, this theatrical soundtrack album release sets the record straight and also allows those who couldn't make a trip to the Big Apple a chance to witness and marvel at Peter’s rollicking and totally mesmerizing musical tale about Robert Moses. Most of the great highways, parks, tunnels and bridges in NYC had something to do with Moses and, retracing Moses' life, Bulldozer spotlights key aspects of his historic career from the 1930s till the early 1960s. For his much anticipated musical, Peter has created a new kind of 21st century rock opera that will thrill music fans of legendary theatrical masterworks like Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar.

AUG. 10, 2018 – It's always great fun to play for hometown audiences in Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia in my native Pacific Northwest. On July 26 at the Bistro Cottage in Vancouver we had a roomful of lively Canadian cousins and several dear aunties, plus Bruce Pritchard joining me on stage for a few songs, and we followed that up on Aug. 2 in Seattle at the Easy Monkey Taphouse with a mini-reunion of sorts with a full house of dear local friends from high school and college, plus Bruce P. and Larry Johnson on guitars, and surprise guest percussionist BJ Wakkuri joining us for several tunes. Plans are already in the works for an expanded summer tour for 2019.
