Rivermill announces Peter Mayer, Jim Mayer, Scott Kirby on 9/21


Join Peter Mayer, Jim Mayer and Scott Kirby with special guest Brendan Mayer at Rivermill at Dover Landing for an intimate evening of incredible music and songwriting. Show 8:00pm - doors open at 7:30pm. Tickets are $30 and include complimentary valet parking and are available by visiting www.ticketderby.com and searching for ‘Peter Mayer’ or from facebook.com/rivermillnh.
Peter Mayer, Jim Mayer and Scott Kirby have been collaborating for the better part of 20 years, since they met in Key West during the recording of Jimmy Buffett’s 1993 Album Barometer Soup. The combination of the Mayer Brothers and Scott Kirby only happens a handful of times per year and the Rivermill show on September 21st is the only appearance in northern New England in 2012. Peter Mayer’s son Brendan Mayer will also be joining the trio.
Peter Mayer will perform from his extensive repertoire, including from his new release, Goodbye Hello, which features incredible and inspired interpretations of his major influence, The Beatles.  As a guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Mayer has melded a unique and multi-faceted writing style, a distinctive voice, and inspired musicianship to create compelling and accessible music that is electrifying in live performance. Mayer has culled influences from his childhood in India that ranged from traditional Indian music to The Beatles, and from his studying and teaching Jazz guitar at Webster University in St. Louis. Add the many years that he has shared the stage with Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, James Taylor, Mac McAnally, Sonny Landreth, Don Henley and others, and you begin to trace the musical storyline of Peter Mayer.

Jim Mayer’s talent shines on both electric and upright acoustic bass, playing with performers ranging from jazz legend Mose Allison to James Taylor to Ringo Starr. As a member of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band since 1989, Mayer has been writing, recording and performing worldwide with Buffett. Mayer has played on over thirty studio recordings. Some credits include upcoming CD releases from Little Feat, JD Souther and Annie Sellick as well as being named the XM Kid’s Choice Artist of the year for his Uncle Jim children’s recording . And in his spare time, he's engineered and produced eleven CDs in addition to his own. Visitwww.jimmayer.com for more information.
New Hampshire native, Scott Kirby, one of the most requested artists on Sirius XM Radio Margaritaville, brings his brand of coastal-inspired folk rock sometimes referred to as “beach folk” to the stage. Although the comparison to Jimmy Buffett is natural because of Scott Kirby’s coastal life, his storytelling style of songwriting and often humorous live performances are reminiscent of folks like Harry Chapin, Jerry Jeff Walker and Steve Goodman with a dash of James Taylor thrown in. Kirby released his first studio CD in 1993, and followed up with four more through 2007 before his latest release "Row Me Home" in 2009, and he continues to tour extensively around the country appearing at festivals, clubs and theatres, performing more than 100 shows each year.
