Writer, performer, banjoist and guitarist Tony Petersen began playing guitar at age 11 and has been performing across the country since high school. Petersen's music has always been multi-faceted. With Social Animals, he's an internationally-celebrated rocker and lead guitarist, adding atmosphere and attitude to songs built for stadiums. With his solo album Real Enough For You Now, he scaled his songwriting back to its acoustic roots, reworking the influence of Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, and The Replacements to his own brand of heartland folk-rock.


Now, with Some Dreams, he punctuates songs about the artistic experience — the elation, the anxiety, and the long drives from one show to the next — with guitar-heavy arrangements that nod to his rock & roll roots. This is Petersen's story, but it's our story, too: a universal tale about chasing down one's dreams, set to a soundtrack that's as melodic as it is muscular. - Andrew Leahey
