When you listen to the lyrics & music of Peter Oliva and his band, The Peter Oliva Band, you begin to realize that this is not just another wannabe who hangs out the cliched shingle of “Singer/Songwriterâ€, but rather an artist who follows in the continuing lineage of original and individual American poets. Being born out of the cultures and circumstances that existed and was the late twentieth century, he transcends the topical confines of an era with a more personal insight into the hopes, joys, sorrows, of these saints and sinners we call the human race. In this distinct blend of, Folk/Rock/Country/and “Old School†R&B, having been aptly coined, “American Primitive-Urban Folkâ€. Peter stands on this eclectic mixture which continues to evolve, on his own as a unique Americana artist of distinction and originality.
