Winter Music Series - Peter Blachly

  • Sheepscot General Store 98 Town House Road Whitefield, ME, 04353 United States (map)

We were missing our Friday night summer music, so we've decided to bring it back for winter in the cafe! 4:30-6:30pm on Fridays. Order pizza, get a drink, and chill with friends for Pizza Night!

I have been playing music since my mother started me on piano lessons at age four. At 8 I entered the junior choir at the Washington National Cathedral, graduating to the senior choir in the next school year, allowing me to enroll at St. Albans School with a modest scholarship. That year I also switched from piano to classical guitar, studying with Aaron Shearer, who started the classical guitar department at Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. I immediately began playing folk and rock, and performed with a couple of bands through high school. After one year of college at St. Johns in Annapolis, I started Claude Jones, which quickly became one of the DC area’s most popular bands. Since that time I have been fortunate to have shared the stage with many of the greatest names in folk, rock and classical music.

More recently I served for four years as president of the Maine Songwriters Association and served as the former music columnist for the Coastal Journal. My song “Vicksburg,” which is featured on Hollowbody Electric Band’s “Prickly Stickers” CD, won the 2014 Maine Songwriting Contest.
