About The Artist

Peter Mayer is a renowned singer, songwriter and guitarist who has released 25 of his own albums, toured internationally with his own band, and was the lead guitarist for Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer band for over three decades.

In 1999, Peter and his brother Jim, who also served as Jimmy Buffett’s long-time bass player, began work on their first Christmas album, “Stars and Promises.” They recorded their favorite traditional carols along with their own original Christmas songs that, over the years, have become favorites of their audiences across the country.

Since that first recording and tour in 1999, Mayer has released four additional Christmas albums and this year celebrates his 23rd year on the road with his world-class seven-piece band. The “Stars and Promises” concerts are engaging live performances made memorable with state-of-the-art sound and production. “Stars and Promises” brings its unique yuletide tradition to thousands of fans who have called this production, “a Christmas show like no other!”
