Peter Matteson recently put his main project--Death Comesto Matteson--on hold to pursue The Cross of Lorraine. Whether backed by orchestral arraignments or simply appearing with his guitar, Peter?s training as an opera singer leaves audience in awe of the power he brings to the stage.
His lyrics and songs call upon the written prose and arranged works of nineteenth and twentieth century poets and composers Emily Dickenson, Robert Penn Warren, Tennessee Williams, William Carlos Williams, Igor Stravinsky, Gustav Mahler, and Norman Delo Joio.
Themes of hard times and utter despair are common in Peter?s work, be it with Death Comesto Matteson or The Cross of Lorraine, and while the words might leave you feeling a bit melancholy, be assured that you?ll have a fantastic time getting there.
