BIO
Peter Stone is an independent musician and a writer of songs that are equal parts intimate and cinematic, energetic and evocative, familiar and haunted. It’s easy to imagine any of Peter’s songs playing over the final shot of a film about love and loss, giving your tears just enough time to dry while the credits roll before you leave the theater. With a voice like warm evening sunlight creeping in through a ranch homestead’s western windows, it does not come as a surprise that they have lived all across the United States, acquiring dust and stories along the road.
In addition to releasing their own music as a solo artist, Peter is also the co-founder and former guitarist of The Rare Occasions, an LA-based band whose explosive garage rock anthems and soaring melodies have been heard by millions of listeners around the world. Songs by The Rare Occasions featuring Peter’s guitar and songwriting have been streamed over 1 billion times worldwide.
Released in August 2024, 'Altar' is the debut full-length album by Peter Stone. Through a blend of introspective lyrical narratives, delicate guitar work, and cathartic crescendos, 'Altar' chronicles a journey of personal growth. The self-produced album navigates themes ranging from darkly humorous attempts at connection to mystical love stories, from struggles with addiction to grief over trauma and loss. Through it all the music evokes the constant struggle to eke out some meaning from here in our tiny spot in the universe.
