Peter Mayer

House Band leader, Peter Mayer
Guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Peter Mayer has melded a unique and multi-faceted writing style, a distinctive voice and inspired musicianship to create compelling and accessible music that is electrifying in live performance. Mayer has culled influences from his childhood in India that ranged from traditional Indian music to The Beatles, and from his studying and teaching jazz guitar at Webster University in St. Louis, Mo. Add the many years that he has shared the stage with Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, James Taylor, Mac McAnally, Sonny Landreth, Don Henley and many others. The ELCA Youth Gathering is thrilled to welcome Peter Mayer back to lead us in song and worship.
