Peter Oyloe

UPDATE OCT 2017: Peter is currently on a National Tour of Million Dollar Quartet playing the role of the young Johnny Cash. Look for dates throughout 2018. www.milliondollarquartet.net Oyloe grew up listening to his father's record albums and came to love such music as The Beatles, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Cat Stevens and Michael Martin Murphy's "Geronimo's Cadillac". Buying his first guitar for ten dollars, he was compelled to start playing and writing immediately and begin his search for the perfect melody, one he has yet to satisfy. Through his music, Oyloe plays tribute to those he admires while managing to keep the sound his own and something hand-tailored for the modern day. His lyrics are clearly-focused, revealing simple truths grounded in the enigma of fierce emotional intimacy: lost loves, personal challenges, misunderstanding, lies and unrealized dreams. “Everything about Peter is soulful and singular,” Salamone states. “His musical spectrum feels limitless because his emotions run deep, his connections so strong and pure. His work is a bit hard to describe because he truly is one-of-a-kind. Hmmmm. If Johnny Depp and Cat Stevens had a son and James Taylor was his baby-sitter, maybe THAT would be Peter Oyloe.” -Tina Salmone – Executive Director Blooming Performing Arts Center
