Peter Evans, a jazz/blues/folk artist from metropolitan Philadelphia, has a lifetime history as a musician, studying guitar and voice initially with Philadelphia Folksong Society co-founder George Britton in the 1960’s.  Peter has maintained his love of the music as an a cappella singer for the past 40 years, including performing with the Yale Whiffenpoofs, for whom he served as musical director.  

Peter’s songwriting has recently been informed by a project he started in March, 2018 on US Route 1, the first Interstate highway in the United States.  Ever since his days at Yale, he’s wanted to take pictures on Route 1, but that impetus has evolved into a nascent website, Route1Views.com, a geo-specific, interactive social website, celebrating the people who have lived and worked along the road.  “We are more divided as a country now than at any other point in my lifetime”, says Evans.  “Perhaps with the exception of 1968.  If in some small way Route1Views helps us to realize how much we share and how we are connected, then all of the effort will have been worth it.”

Where have I been? I've been hanging out on the fringes of Folk Music for years. I have been singing in small venues and writing my own songs since 1976!  Sometimes in the company of other "well-knowns" like Chuck Pyle, Tom Rush, John Denver, and Utah Phillips. So I'll ask it again....where have I been all this time. I chose another path for a while. A PhD and career as a wildlife biologist, raising a family of three (now grown) sons, until 2014.   I blew the whistle on my boss, got fired, got divorced, moved to the small Colorado mountain town of Nederland with my kids, and started writing, performing, recording, and touring full-time. Life has never been better. I learned anew, what I had long-forgotten; that sharing my music with audiences was my "soul".
