ERIC BRACE and PETER COOPER (USA)
Peter Cooper has worked with a wonderful range of musicians throughout the USA including Todd Snider, Jason Ringenberg, Nanci Griffith and the lunatic, Phil Lee.
In addition to his work as a songwriter, Cooper has become one of America’s most prominent music journalists, writing for The Tennessean, Esquire, Britannica and No Depression, among others.
"Eric Brace and Peter Cooper have made a new record called "You Dont Have To Like Them Both." Well guess what? I like them both, a lot. Think of what you liked best about Gordon Lightfoot, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Gram Parsons and Roy Acuff, then thank God these lads like each other enough to offer up such a smoking, good, batch of songs." - Rodney Crowell "Eric Brace and Peter Cooper bring the sound of East Nashville to my radio shows. Authentic, intelligent and beautifully played...real Country music for 2009." Bob Harris, BBC2
"Nashville’s Eric Brace and Peter Cooper are on a roll. Last year the duo brought together pedal steel legend Lloyd Green and dobro ace Mike Auldridge for an impressive release. This year the duo have returned with their tribute to the songs of Tom T. Hall. Rather than go it alone, they invited an impressive group of friends and acquaintances – from Buddy Miller to Jim Lauderdale to Bobby Bare to Tom T. Hall himself. This track features Patty Griffin wrapping her beautiful voice around a Tom T. Hall classic. File this under sublime." Mayer Danzig, Twangville

Eric and PeterSince 1997, Eric Brace has been the frontman and songwriter for the acclaimed roots-rock band Last Train Home. With eight CDs and one live concert DVD to its credit, LTH is one of the most prolific and admired bands in the "Americana" world.
At the core of the band's sound are Eric's evocative songs and his warm voice. "Brace's tenor, when combined with his lyrics which evoke endless late nights on the prairies without ever specifically referring to them, is one of the treasures of the whole Americana genre," says roots-rock great Sid Griffin (Long Ryders, Coal Porters) in a review in the peerless British music magazine MOJO.
The Washington Post proclaims that "Brace hasn't let years of grueling road work compromise his songcraft," while the British audiophile magazine Hi-Fi Plus lauds Eric's "great grasp of melody and song structure."
"Album of the Week" - Crossroads, BRTO Radio, Bergen Op Zoom, The Netherlands "Eric and Peter's distinctive styles work superbly together, whether catching the ache of loss and longing or observing the foibles of personality, or cheekily commenting on the ridiculous." - www.folking.com
