Peter Tucker

In the mid 60's Peter Tucker began his musical trek by working with a Boston- based group called "The Monks" which featured Brad Delp, the future lead singer of "Boston". Peter then moved to NYC's Greenwich Village where the folk scene was exploding. There he met and recorded with Tim Hardin (If I Were A Carpenter) and other folk legends such as Richie Havens. Peter then joined a group called "Guns And Butter" and recorded an album for Cotillion/Atlantic records in 1970. When "Guns And Butter" broke up (Axle Rose was a big fan at the age of three), Peter moved west to California and played with the band "Pacific Gas and Electric" in Los Angeles. He then moved up to the S.F. Bay area where he immersed himself in the Irish folk music scene and eventually worked with Declan Mulligan of "The Beau Brummels". Peter encouraged Declan to reform the Beau Brummels. Soon after, the group had another five year run, which included recording a single produced by Vince Welnick ("The Tubes", "The Grateful Dead"). In the 1980's Peter played rock, country, and jazz gigs, which led to work with Kathi Goldmark, and recording and performing with a group of famous authors including Norman Mailer, Amy Tan, and Steven King. In the 90's Peter toured nationally, and internationally, in the bay area bluegrass supergroup "The Waybacks". These days Peter enjoys doing tasty brush work, and rockin' country drumming with the Cowlicks.
