100% independent artist, and winner of Mike Pinder's Songwars 2010 (Alt Rock), Peter Bloom was also the Grand Prize Winner on OURSTAGE.COM for Best Song Overall (Let It Go) back in August 2009. He previously won the July 2007 SONG OF THE YEAR international pop song competition, and two TORONTO EXCLUSIVE MUSIC AWARDS, among numerous other accolades. But all that means very little to Peter in comparison to his insatiable desire to simply connect with his ever-growing audience. Peter Bloom’s LIVE show has been described as "pure heart and raw energy."
His music can be summed up by a composite of critical blurbs describing his instantly memorable, crescendo-driven, 70’s-rock-infused songs that "tug at the heart and shine with soaring vocals," that deliver "honest, intelligent and poetic lyrics."
Beyond the innumerable hours of writing and recording, Peter also displays his musical "drive" by actually driving to places such as NASHVILLE - 24 hours alone there and back for an unsolicited promotional trip…or to DELAWARE - over 20 hours return for a coffeehouse showcase! Pete recently showcased at the NEW MUSIC WEST conference in VANCOUVER, BC...he FLEW to that one!
Influences: Beatles, U2, Queen, Verve, Stereophonics, Oasis, Keane, Roy Orbison, Bruce Springsteen.
