Award winning musician, educator and founding member of The Gaslight Tinkers, Peter Siegel contributes a radical chord to American Roots music. Influenced by the songwriting of Pete Seeger and Phil Ochs, dixieland, old time fiddle tunes and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, Peter’s music defies categorization.  Over the years he’s shared the stage and been mentored by  folks like Pete Seeger, Jay Unger and Molly Mason, Judy Collins, Dar Williams, Utah Phillips, Noel Paul Stookey, and was a bandmate of bluegrass powerhouse  Michael Daves and poet Alicia Jo Rabins in the 90’s “New Old Time” band Underbelly which the Berkshire Eagle called “a supergroup of New England talent”.
