September 30, 2018Peter was very professional in communicating with me prior to the event. He coordinated a special duet with our neice at our request and it was fantastic . We loved his selection of folk and light rock songs played at our dinner party. Many of our guests asked me for his name and number at the end of the evening. I was very happy we hired him!

*****PETER IS A SOLO PERFORMER AND DOES NOT WORK WITH A BAND*****
If John Lennon and James Taylor were to have a love child he would look and sound like Peter Tompkins.
SOLO ARTIST Peter Tompkins blends his Classic Rock influences from such acts as The Beatles and James Taylor into a unique sound that is all his own. His warm, full and inviting vocals are perfect on such covers as You’ve Got A Friend. His original compositions in his first three C.D.’s are very well crafted and reflective.
“Peter’s songwriting ability captures heart-felt emotion and translates it into music that reaches the hearts of those who hear it. This is especially evident in the beautiful song he has written entitled “Child’s Play”
