Peter Brander

Peter Brander har været og er stadig den uundværlige lyd-kreateaur for et utal af danske rock- og popikoner - både som producer i studiet - som lydmand ved utallige koncerter - eller som guitarist og korsanger på plader eller live.
Peter Brander har sat sit umiskendelige fingeraftryk på snesevis af de mest kendte danske rockklassikere.
Har man haft lejlighed til at arbejde - eller blot møde - Peter Brander ved man, at han - udover sine profesionelle og iøjen- og iørefaldende talenter som udøvende musiker og som 'bagmand' - er et af de mest ydmyge og venlige mennesker en ellers kontant branche kan byde på.
BIOGRAFI
Peter startede sin musikalske karriere som guitarist og sanger i 1966 med et jysk band der først hed ”Crowd”, senere ”Liza”. De flyttede til København i 1974 for at lave deres debutalbum, men forud for det havde de allerede lavet en single i '69.
Debutalbummet blev et pænt hit for den tid, og to år efter - i 1976 - udsendes efterfølgeren; "Take A Look Again". Næste album, som udkom i '78, var på dansk og hed "Hold Kontakten".
Omtrent samtidig var Peter Brander kommet med i bandet ”Charlatan” og lavede 3 albums med dem; "Glimt fra Werners Verden" i 1977, "Masser af Mennesker" i 1979 (med bl.a. hitsinglen "Johnny Gi' Et Nummer") og "Gi Den En På Hatten" i 1981…
Dernæst spillede Brander med Krølle Eriks Bluesband, som han lavede 2 albums med, inden han gik ind i en mere stille periode, i hvert fald hvad angår egne indspilninger. Han laver de følgende mange år en masse lyd og albums med bl.a. Nikolaj & Piloterne, en masse Big Fat Snake o.m.a..
I 1989 startede han ligeledes med Michael Falch i forbindelse med "Håbets Hotel"-touren, og har fulgt ham lige siden. Desuden har han indspillet og mixet samtlige Peter Viskindes albums (lige undtagen den allerførste fra '86), ligesom han også har været med ind over på lyd hos bl.a. Poul Krebs, One Two, Zapp Zapp, Nikolaj Steen, C.V. Jørgensen og mange, mange flere…
I 1997 udsender Peter Brander sit første soloalbum; "AM/PM Blue Shades", og efter dét fulgte en række koncertjobs, bl.a. som opvarmning for B.B. King… To år efter - i 1999 - danner han sammen med Klaus Schønning og Kim Skovbye bandet ”The North”. Sammen har de indtil videre udsendt to albums, og det tredje er undervejs…
I 2002 udsendte Peter Brander sit andet soloalbum; "Silk And Steel", som fulgtes op af en lang række koncerter, bl.a. på Langelandsfestivalen, Dragør Festivalen, som opvarmning for Peter Gren i Amager Bio o.m.a.. Udover at spille musik, passer Peter Brander dagligt sit professionelle studie; Media Sound i København, hvor stort set alle danske musikere på et eller andet tidspunkt har indspillet.
Gennem sin lange og alsidige karriere har Brander indspillet i omegnen af 500 albums, et utal demoer og lavet over 5000 livejobs!
Peter Branders nye album "Living On The Road" udkom mandag d. 22. januar 2007 på pladeselskabet Tewa Music.
Et solidt album i typisk Brander stil med bl.a. nummeret "The Best You Got" - en lækker sag med ægte PB guitar og Santana-agtig percussion. Og det er ikke mærkeligt for Peter har nemlig fået hjælp af ingen ringere end percussionisten Rauel Rekow fra Santana.
