Peter and his band, The Pyramids, were a FANTASTIC fit for our event… we hold a dance every year, but I’ve never seen the dance floor packed like that before. Great music and vibes. Thank you so much for thinking of everything, including aligning to our theme. We’d love to contact you again if we’re back in Nevada!

We hired Peter for an afternoon winery event. He played with two of his band members and it was such a fun show. They were great to work with. I would hire Peter again.

Kaity S. Wedding Peter was absolutely fantastic! Not only was he extremely communicative, he learned a special song for our wedding and performed a special song for us before he left. He was on time, adapted to our venue and was a great addition to our wedding. Thank you for making our day special!!! Would highly recommend!!

Wow!! What a night! I first contacted Peter about doing a few songs for an intimate group of family/friends to celebrate my first wedding anniversary. Peter performed a stunning rendition of “River” by Leon Bridges. The whole thing was a surprise and it went over without a hitch. Peter has an extensive list of songs to chose from, all of the classics. I found his overall demeanor incredibly friendly and thoughtful. When Peter finished “River”, my mother actually got pretty emotional. After dealing with the pandemic for the past two years, it’s touching to know that beautiful moments like these can still happen. I couldn’t have managed any of it without Peters excellent and timely communication. I should note, I initially contacted Peter only a few days before our anniversary and he was able to fit my event into his schedule without any issues. Peter is an excellent musician and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a personal touch!!

Anniversary - Husband
Peter was great. Exceptional guitar musician. His renditions of old classics are exceptional. If you haven’t heard him go to Youtube and listen to his rendition of “You Don’t Know Me”. Really special. Very flexible artist. Played for 5 hours for our dinner party and at the end of the evening unplugged his guitar and pulled up to the dinner table and entertained. Very nice person. I asked him if he could learn a version of a song so I could sing it to my wife and he gladly did so. I will definitely have Peter back!
