Peter Mulvey in Concert and in Conversation with Charles Barber

The Russell House, 350 High Street, Middletown

Songwriter and raconteur Peter Mulvey perfected his riveting style by busking on the streets of Dublin and Boston, honing his music and connecting deeply with audiences. Twenty albums, one illustrated book, thousands of live performances, a TEDx talk, opening tours and gigs for luminaries such as Ani DiFranco, Greg Brown, Emmylou Harris and Chuck Prophet, appearances on NPR, an annual autumn tour by bicycle… Mulvey has built his life’s work on collaboration with the people in the seats, and an instinct for the things that ignite our potential.
