Peter Tigchelaar

Born and raised in Hamilton, Peter’s roots run deep, grounding him in the Niagara Escarpment and the Bay area where he has been singing and playing music since childhood. By the time he’d reached his teen years, the music of the Beatles, Bach and Handel, Bob Dylan and choral singing were significant influences. Writing his own songs for as long as he’s been singing and playing guitar, Peter’s style has evolved since his first recording Wings Meet Wind from 1994. His music is a complex mixture of genres reflecting the many influences he loves. His clear strong tenor voice is a distinctive feature of his melodic approach to song writing. Rock, blues, gospel, choral and reggae are all alive in his eclectic tunes, played passionately on guitar, mandolin, ukulele, and Hammertone.
