Having already crafted an underground following for their own genre of music, they’ve managed to squeeze as much of the stunning visual spectacle of their concerts as possible into their new album. Peter Nevland’s unfettered physical energy and Paul Finley’s jaw-dropping guitar skills will take you on a synergistic journey that will make you feel you like you traded in all your toys for a heart that’s real.

Peter & Paulâs Story

Acoustic Spoken Groove. Itâs the best way to describe the unfettered energy produced by the unlikely combination of slam poet Peter Nevland and virtuoso guitarist Paul Finley. âThese two performers - theyâre more than poets - have taken spoken word and the art of poetry slam to new heights,â raves the Santa Fe Reporter. âAn explosion of words,â is the quotation of choice for the Dallas Morning News, âlifting his arms one minute and kicking his legs the next.â Since September, 2002, Peter and Paul have completed countless tours across the U.S., Canada and England and played for just about every audience imaginable. From rock hungry students to fine art lovers, inner city kids to white-collar businessman, no one can get enough of their Acoustic Spoken Groove.

Of course the most interesting aspect to them isnât so much where theyâve played, but how they ended up working together. Music and writing was the last thing on Peterâs mind when he came to the University of Texas in 1993 to study Mechanical Engineering. When he did start writing, his performance was so inventive, bands started asking if they could play music for him while he unleashed his âDr. Seuss took a walk through the ghetto and decided to become the white, jive kingâ style. It wasnât long before he met one of the most amazing guitarists heâd ever seen in 2000 at an Austin Arts Festival.

Wisconsin-reared Paul Finley had been hooked by the guitar the first time his fingers touched the strings. At the age of 16, he began teaching, getting a diploma in Guitar Performance from the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, and joining his talents with the indie band, Mas Optica. Heâs played with symphonies, comedy troupes, rock stars and buskers in his journey from Wisconsin to Austin. It was the perfect preparation for the turn his life was about to take as he gave Peter his card and told him to call if he wanted to do anything with music.

They finally played together a year later, realizing something instant and magical in what they were creating. After countless cities, open doors, wowed audiences, bad jokes and 8 CDâs later, theyâre set to take off as the folk apostles of the most original, acoustic funk machine, spoken groove combo ever experienced.

"It’s a wild trippin’ psycho funkedelic roller coaster ride that taps into the unexplored depths of the unknown.â raves HM Magazine.

âan explosion of words,â reads The Dallas Morning News, âlifting his arms one minute and kicking his legs the next.â

Paul,â is a virtuoso on the guitar,â raves Hope Arts Festival Coordinator, David Taylor. âThe man does not hide behind his guitar, he rides it.â

What Peter does with words is illegal in 7 states and under investigation in 17 more,â says national best-selling author, Roy Williams.

Amazingly, Peter completed a Masterâs in Engineering from the University of Texas and spurned his lucrative position as an engineer at Motorola to pursue a performance career full-time.
