Peter just checked in to tell us about a new musical project he’s involved in: “May 23rd is the date of the single “Outside Again” from a new group featuring me, Barrett Martin, Alain Johannes and Duke Garwood. The band is called Drink the Sea, and the albums we recorded were made around the world. I’ll let Barrett explain everything; he was there from the beginning, and it’s ultimately his.”
Barrett says, “The albums were produced and mixed by Alain and me and reflect the members vast experience as songwriters, arrangers, and singers. It also shows a strong world music influence that permeates the music. Although the songs are built around traditional guitar, bass, and drums configurations, the songs also shimmer with the sounds of Arabic oud, Indian sitar, Indonesian gamelans, and various exotic percussions like Brazilian surdo, frame drum, vibraphone, marimba, and kalimba.”
The result are 22 songs, spread across two debut albums, Drink The Sea I and Drink The Sea II.
The band will start touring in the late fall of 2025, and the first single is available now. New singles will follow every two weeks. The two albums will be released on September 19th and October 3rd, respectively. Listen HERE.
