About Me

I perform bad-attitude folk- and blues-based acoustic comedy in and around Dallas, Texas.

My music appears on the comedy music EP Look What I Made! (2003) and The Best Of The Red Peters Comedy Music Hour Volume 1 (2007, Oglio Records).

In addition, I've been heard on the Sirius XM Howard 101, Raw Dog Comedy and National Lampoon Radio channels, the Red Peters Show, the Dr. Demento Show and on many more radio stations and podcasts.
