I’ve shared several music videos from Peter Hollens, as has Ghostwriter and possibly others. It occurs to me, though, that people who enjoy his music might want to know more about him.
Peter was born in March 1982 in Ashland, Oregon. He is best known for his a capella music, often with Peter singing multiple parts. This kind of music is quite difficult because there are no musical instruments to accompany the singer or singers, so they must have a good ear for music, in order to stay on key and in tempo.
Peter went to the University of Oregon in Eugene and along with Leo da Silva, he was instrumental (no pun intended) in forming U of O’s a capella group. Peter graduated with a Bachelor of Music in vocal performance.
Peter has been professionally singing, songwriting, and producing music since 2002. Peter, his wife Evynne, and two sons; Ashland (born in 2014) and Saylor (born in 2018) still live in Eugene.
Peter has won five vocal awards so far, three of them for solo performer.
Many of Peter’s music videos can be found on YouTube, as can those by his wife, Evynne.

Always glad to know about different singers.
It is an interest of mine, probably because I enjoy music so much.
He is a wonderful singer with a voice that can sing different music versions. –
That is true. The more he sings, the better he becomes, too.
Thank you for giving us information about Peter.
I thought it might be interesting for people to know.
love the stuff you and others have shared. He is very talented!
He definitely has a gift and I feel humbled if I sing the same songs.
Don’t worry if it’s not good enough for anybody else to hear!!!!!

Singing is a gift to the world no matter how much better Peter’s voice is than well, roughly 7.5 billion people on earth’s voices!
Oh, I know. Our pastor is fond of saying that singing is a form of worship. I can’t say that I disagree.
It is also a way to make others smile. To bring light to the world!
That is quite true. I get buoyed up when I hear good music and singing and I sometimes even sing if my own spirits need to be lifted up. There are times when I’m sad or depressed and that is one of the few things that can brighten my day.
It always helps me, although, pulling up to a stop sign next to another car and realizing, they are staring because I am singing, isn’t always well, good.
I will have to listen to more of his music.
I suspect that I’ll be sharing more of it. 😀
