Red Peters is a musician and songwriter from the Boston area who has made three CDs titled I Laughed... I Cried... I Fudged My Undies! and Ol' Blue Balls Is Back!, plus "The Best Of The Red Peters Comedy Music Hour, Vol. #1" cd. Little is known about Red Peters's actual background because of his inability to take anything serious including himself.
Red Peters has built a career on shockingly unexpected explicit lyrics based on his own written and orchestrated tunes. In 1995 he released How's Your Whole... Family?, a country-flavored song whose sexually-charged lyrics acquire innocent meanings at the end of each verse. Although he is often compared to Bob Rivers or John Valby, his music is not parody but rather his own. Red Peters is a frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show and even wrote and sang the sultry "I Can't Say These Things" which he considered to be a tribute to the FCC. Stern liked the song so much he made it the theme song for his crusade against the FCC. Unfortunately for Red, the song (even censored for expletives) was considered too risqué for management and was pulled.
On November 18, 2005, Peters hosted a one-hour pilot The Red Peters Comedy Music Hour on Stern's channel on Sirius Satellite Radio. This was followed by a holiday broadcast on December 21 and he was subsequently hired by Howard Stern to do a weekly show every Friday night on Howard 101. The show is now monthly.
Red premiered the single, "When I Jerkoff (I Think Of You)" on September 28, 2006 during an in-studio appearance on The Howard Stern Show.
Red Peters made his motion picture acting debut in the independent film "Johnny Slade's Greatest Hits" starring John Fiore, Vincent Curatola and Richard Portnow. His song, "Blow Me" appears on the film's soundtrack, which includes a rare recording of his song, "The First Time I Met You", sung during a touching love scene by Johnny Slade (Fiore).
Peters appears as a music authority in the feature documentary, "Dirty Country", directed by Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher. It chronicles the story of Indiana, dirty songwriter, Larry Pierce, and profiles several living legends of the raunchy music business.
Red Peters released his 3rd album, a compilation, on 9/11/2007, "The Best of Red Peters Comedy Hour, Volume #1" cd with various novelty artists and songs submitted to his program in his first year on Sirius.
Red's songs are included on the soundtracks of several films and television shows. His song, "Blow Me (You Hardly Even Know Me) can be heard on an episode of HBO's "Cathouse", and his songs, "I Can't Say these Things" and "The Closing Song (Get The Fuck Out)" are on the soundtrack to the feature film, "FUCK, The Documentary" directed by Steve Anderson.
On January 27, 2008, Red appeared in a vaudeville-like show called "Titler's Oddville" at the Beehive in Boston's South End with Titler, Broadway performers Christine & Raymond Bokhour, John & Rebecca Higby, the Yo-yo People, comic Shane Mauss, and singer Charlie Moto. In May 2008, Red formally joined the production, and the program was re-named "Red Peters presents Oddville" and kicks off a national theater production at the Cutler Majestic Theatre in Boston's theater district.
Red was featured in a Boston Globe article on June 6, 2008 in an article by Nick Zaino III. http://www.boston.com/ae/theater_arts/articles/2008/06/06/red_peters_steps_out_of_shadows_with_oddville/
