Peter and the Wolf MP3 & Tour Dates

Austin's Peter and the Wolf have signed with The Worker's Institute and are getting ready to release Lightness on Oct. 31st in North America (Nov. 6th everywhere else). 

The album is made up of songs written and recorded by Brian Redding Hunter (who goes by his nickname, Red) in bedrooms, living rooms, and hotels around the country.  "Red" describes the record by saying, "Lightness is a whole record about that feeling when you wake up all sentimental from a dream and you want to call your friends and ask How is your health, how's your dad, how's travels? It is about those good mornings when you're just wishin' everybody well."

Here's a track from the record for your listening pleasure:
