Peter and the Wolf (band)
Peter and the Wolf is the American folk band formed by musician Redding Hunter. Hunter says about his song writing, "I carry a journal everywhere with me. I will stop in the middle of whatever I'm doing to write down an idea, whether it's something I think about, hear, observe, or whatever. It's my highest priority to make sure I capture these ideas, as the craft of songwriting is a lifelong pursuit". The band's record label offers early demos called "Peter and the Wolf" and "Experiments in Junk", but the first  official CD released was "Lightness". After the release of "Lightness" the band performed several shows in graveyards, islands, as well as more regular venues. "The Ivori Palms" became the act's second official release in September 2007, followed by "Mellow Owl" and "Traffique's Endless Weekend Mixtape", the newest album, "Easy Mountain", was released in December, 2011. "Mellow Owl" was written and recorded on a farm in Canada, and an undisclosed location in Vermont, according to liner notes. As Red Hunter told Splice Today in a recent interview, "I'm trying out all kinds of new stuff here to see  what works. I'm really influenced by these native dudes I met in Fiji who sang super mellow beach harmonies, so I guess it'll be some island jams."
