Mass Recovery Fest - Artist Showcase #8: Peter Piek

Every day I'll be posting an Artist Showcase--a short introduction to each one of the bands playing Mass Recovery Fest this year. I've been lucky enough to enlist the help of Tony Marciello who wrote half the reviews including this one.

Peter Piek



It often seems that in the realm of art there are only three types of people: unoriginal copycats, inaccessible artìsts, and, the very rare balanced artists. If this is the case, then Peter Piek is a very rare individual; part author, part songwriter, all painter. Peter Piek plays, for lack of a better description, pop music, however he plays it on his own terms; his music is catchy, fun, and enlightening without being gimmicky.
Hailing from Leipzig, Germany, Piek has a busy schedule of shows lined up for the next few months in promotion of his recently released “What About The Ladies?/You’re So Right!” EP and his forthcoming full-length album. He will be playing Day 1 of this year’s Mass Recovery Fest.

Mass Recovery Fest - Artist Showcase #2: Ian Fisher

Every day I'll be posting an Artist Showcase--a short introduction to each one of the bands playing Mass Recovery Fest this year. I've been lucky enough to enlist the help of Tony Marciello who wrote half the reviews including this one.

Ian Fisher



All music belongs to a time and a place. Ian Fisher’s music belongs to sunsets over rolling hills, to long train rides home, and to moments of conscious reflection. Taking influence from his nomadic life experiences between the United States and Europe, Ian Fisher is an excellent lyrical songwriter and talented musician with a voice to lull his listeners and then energize them at the drop of a dime. His music is both smooth and rough at the same time, full of intricacy.

Fisher recently released a self-titled EP and is currently on tour promoting it, alongside tour mate Peter Piek. Both will be playing Mass Recovery Fest on April 9th at Andrew Hall in Lunenburg, MA.
