Dishin' with Musicians: Episode 4 - Lawrence Peters

January 22, 2021 • Mike Semrad • Season 1 • Episode 4

Hello Friends!

Tonight, we welcome our Ole' Chicago Brother, Lawrence Peters, of the Lawrence Peters Outfit. Lawrence Peters is a country singer, songwriter, drummer, bandleader, DJ, and America’s preeminent electric washboard player, with a music career spanning thirty-plus years and completely jam packed with country knowledge and preservation.

His band, The Lawrence Peters Outfit, were two-time winners of the Chicago Music Award for Best Country And Western Entertainer, as well as rockin' the house as the 2018 and 2019 Ameripolitan Award nominee for Best Honky Tonk Group. Well deserved! Some of you Chicago friends might recognize him from the iconic Hideout, Chicago's premiere country/folk/bluegrass/old timey venue.

Lawrence also has shown his talents in The Golden Horse Ranch Band, and the ultra fun improvisational and “future funk” group, The Velcro Lewis Group. He is an enthusiastic collector and curator of country records, many of which he spins on his radio show "Country, My Way", on Chicago's WLPN 105.5 FM, every Wednesday from 4 to 6pm, and at The Sportsman's Club, the first Wednesday of every month.

Tonight, we get to the bottom of his love for old records, his passion for these sounds, and of course what he most likes to cook at home. Cause' let's face it, all of these musicians get hungry at some point.

We are live! So, don't forget to join in on the comments and ask your questions. There is quite a bit to talk about as we travel down the Country Music History rabbit hole.

AND! You can keep us alive, by making a small or large charitable donations to the official non-profit 501c3, Nebraska Performing Arts Hall of Fame. We appreciate your support all around!
