Peter Katz is a Canadian singer-songwriter.
Katz is a 2012 Juno Award nominee[1] and Emerging Artist of the Year nominee at the Canadian Folk Music Awards.[2] Katz’s grassroots efforts have resulted in him selling over 15,000 copies of his discs and sharing the stage with notable artists such as The Swell Season (The Frames), Dan Mangan, The Good Lovelies, Joel Plaskett, Bahamas, Royal Wood, Lucky Fonz III, Donovan Frankenreiter, Jordan Raycroft, and Garth Hudson from The Band, members of Levon Helm's band (on stage with Glen Hansard's band).[1]
Katz's 2010 studio record First of the Last to Know debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes singer-songwriter charts and features a guest appearance by Academy Award winner Glen Hansard (The Swell Season, 'Once'), Juno Award winners The Good Lovelies and Melissa McClelland (Whitehorse, Sarah Mclachlan).[3] In 2011, Katz released a live CD/DVD entitled Peter Katz and Friends: Live at the Music Gallery, an intimate snapshot of Katz playing for a room full of people. It also earned him a Juno nomination for Music DVD of the Year.[1]
Katz released a studio album called Still Mind Still on 24 April 2012. This new collection of songs was recorded mostly live off the floor at a cabin in the woods.[1]
