Michael Peterson (born August 7, 1959 in Tucson, Arizona[1]) is an American country music singer-songwriter. He made his debut on the country music scene in 1997 with his self-titled debut album, which produced five Top 40 hits (including a Number One) on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. Peterson's second album, 1999's Being Human, was not as successful, producing only a minor Top 40 hit. A third album, 2004's Modern Man, also failed to produce any significant chart hits in the U.S., although Peterson has seen continued success on the music charts in Europe.
