Each Measure Feature: Peter Stone

FEATURE

Former guitarist and co-founder of The Rare Occasions, Peter Stone is branching out with his debut solo album, Altar. After more than a billion streams and five years of touring across the United States with The Rare Occasions, alt-folk artist Stone understands what makes great music and builds an audience. As a self-produced, full-length LP, Alar brings Peter Stone’s unique blend of guitar intricacy, raw emotions, and introspective lyrics to listeners on August 22. 

Altar gets very personal for Stone, who captures his journey of growth and self-discovery across the album. His songs take on a range of themes, from love stories and darkly humorous human connection to addiction and the grief that comes from loss and trauma. Many listeners will be able to relate to how Altar reflects on the search for meaning in our lives. The singles, “Courtyard” and “Rising,” were introductions to the album, but “Seabreeze” is where Stone’s talents really shine through with weighted emotions. Ready to make a lasting impression on the alt-folk music scene, Altar is sure to resonate with listeners for a long time to come.
