Toronto-based singer/songwriter Peter Bloom will be opening the launch
of Juliana Sparks long-awaited CD entitled "Juliana" at The Rivoli
(334 Queen St. W., Toronto, east of Spadina) on May 7th at 8:00 PM.
Performing as an acoustic trio, Peter will perform songs from his just-
released full-length debut "Random Thoughts (from a paralyzed mind)".
Peter Bloom has the perfect gift for all those people who let fear
prevent them from breaking free and reaching their potential. Drawing
emotional strength and wisdom from his own powerful personal life
experiences, his album is an insightful, musically and lyrically
compelling debut that chronicles his dramatic ****ft from years of self-
doubt (and physical problems with his voice) to his current emergence
as a critically acclaimed, award winning artist and performer.
His newly assembled band's first gig in December 2007 at The Cameron
House--one of the city's hip musical venues--saw many fans lining up
after the show to buy CDs and get autographs. One review described
Bloom's live performance as "pure heart and raw energy." Leading up to
Random Thoughts' official national March 2008 release, Peter Bloom
Band is also set to play Toronto hotspot The Horseshoe, and headline
for over 1,000 people at a benefit show for DANI (Developing and
Nurturing Individuals), a local organization that raises money to help
special needs people become more independent.
What the press is saying:
"For (people) keen to try Canadian pop but put off by all the oddball
Montreal indie acts, the answer may come in the shape of Peter Bloom.
Earnest as a Toronto winter day is short, Bloom makes sweeping piano
pop redolent of late Beatles ballads or Chris Martin at his most
thoughtful."
Download.Com - Editor's Review
"Peter Bloom is a singer-songwriter who learned all the right lessons
from John, George, Ringo and especially Paul - not to mention Elton
John and John (Five For Fighting) Ondrasik. This is simply gorgeous
piano/orchestral-based pop, carried to the next level by Bloom's
insightful lyrics and full-bodied melodic sensibilities."
Jason Warburg, The Daily Vault
