 2007MAY 1ST Peter announced Player's first tour date for 2007 on WKRZ 98.5 with DJ Shadoe Steele tonight. Their first date will be Lincoln Park, Lincoln, R.I. from May 25th to 26th. This is not the tour with Hall and Oates and Toto. That tour is still in the works... Peter Beckett and Player will be performing this month on May 25-26 in Lincoln, Rhode Island at Twin Rivers. Twin Rivers consists of casinos, a race track, an entertainment venue and great restauronts and bars. There's something for everyone to enjoy, but for Player fans it is the place to be for the greatest music ever. Both shows will take place in The Lighthouse Bar at 9:00. MARCH 23RD Peter's latest song release is a song called "Stripe", from the compilation CD 'Noriyuki Makihara-Songs From N.Y. You can listen to it right here on the Listening Booth page. MARCH 11TH PB is working on his 6th song of his new CD, but is undecided whether to release it as BECKETT II or PLAYER's 6th CD. One of Peter's favorite songs "Sins of Yesterday" will be a track on this CD. Player performerd it a few years ago live, but this is the first time it has been recorded. I'd say we are in for another masterpiece from Peter...can't wait! MARCH 10TH JANUARY 1ST Happy New Year everyone! A new year for new music from Peter, That's what we all want to hear... 2006 DECEMBER 11TH In case you missed Peter as a surprise guest last week on JJRADIO in Hollywood, the show will be repeated December 21st. Peter is such an awesome interview, and not to be missed! OCTOBER 22ND There's not much news to report other than that there is still talk of PLAYER touring again(a blessing to my heart), and that Peter is still working on his new solo cd. I am as anxious as you are to hear a clip from it. That will be coming soon... OCTOBER 5TH The contest to win 'The Best Of Player' ends tonight at midnight(eastern standard time). Where else are you going to get this awesome CD personally signed by Peter Beckett himself, but here? SEPTEMBER 25TH It's been pretty quiet since the tour ended. Everyone seems to be rested up, and now back to work here in the US. Even though I wasn't there in OZ, I got caught up in the excitement of it all. Peter's back to working on his new cd, and that's a very good thing to report to all the Beckett fans. He's been starting to play alot of slide guitar to coincide with the stlye of his bluesy cd. Looks like another masterpiece in the works!! SEPTEMBER 11TH The Australian leg of the tour is now over and Peter has returned home safely. I'm still receiving photos and video clips from the ladies of OZ. These girls ROCK! They did a great job at capturing great moments from the shows, and were kind enough to share them with anyone that couldn't be there. I stress this on 911 because that's the way it should always be between every country. We can only pray that some day it will be.... Peter asked me to wish him luck as he was ready to catch his flight home on 911 in OZ, then setting foot on US ground and it still being 911 for him(17 hour difference)...I told him he would be fine but said a little pray anyway. SEPTEMBER 8TH Look for a PLAYER clip of "Baby Come Back" inserted in a new pop song, by Vanessa Hudgens, called "Come To Me", her first single from her new cd called "V". Peter actually went into the studio and sang the parts live. Vanessa is a new young talent that starred on the TV show 'High School Musical', and it is sure to be a smash hit. Think of all the young people that will be listening to Peter "do his thing", and ask "who's that? It's soooo beautiful!!" Then they will get an education on great music of a great musician from the 70's. And that's where I come in..... Hear the song and see the video at www.myspace.com/vanessahudgens SEPTEMBER 7TH Peter and the band will be back in the states soon, with only a few gigs in OZ left this weekend. I've heard nothing but great reviews on their shows, but then I expected that. There will be a few more interesting projects in the works for them that I can't discuss right now, but all you Ronn Moss and Peter Beckett fans are going to LOVE this!!! That's all I can say, and I can't say no more. AUGUST 31ST Time is running out to win Peter's autographed BECKETT cd. You don't want to miss out on the chance to own this spectacular collection of songs by my master. (I meant the master!) It's Peter's favorite as well as mine, and he should stand proud. I'll be away for two days in NYC for the MTV Awards, trying to find what's left of all the great rockers of my time. It will be alot of Rappers I'm sure, but bands such as Aerosmith usually show up to keep the greatness alive. Sorry, but they just don't make music like they used too!! Although, you should really check out a NJ band called Smash Palace. These guys(and one girl) have the unique sound of the 60's, similar to the Beatles, and they ROCK! I never talk about a band here unless I believe in them with all my heart....Peter and Ronn are still kicking butt(just keeping it clean) in OZ. Wish we were there! Or they were here, better yet! Have fun Aussies and take care of our men. I know I can count on you! AUGUST 30TH I'm getting some great reports from fans, and the press, that things are going great with the tour in Australia for Peter and Ronn. Peter, of course is doing an excellent performance of "Baby Come Back" every show, with an awesome extended guitar solo at the end. The band has been signing merchandise after the shows, which to me is the nicest gesture a band could do for the people than support them. I personally know that this is a rare happening, and I always have deepest respect for any artist that takes the time to say "hello". Photos from the shows can be viewed at http://www.bridgefans.net/Board/index.php?topic=3039.0 Thanks to LT and Paula for the awesome photos!! AUGUST 24TH Hope you got to hear Peter's interview today on JJRADIO. Peter talked about his new cd in the works, the old Player days, the future Player projects, his 8 years with Little River Band, and his shows in OZ, with Ronn,starting today. It became very emotional for me when Peter and DJ Jason Jeffries started talking about this very website.I am so proud of Peter and his accomplishments, and deeply honored to be a part of people getting to know him as an extremely talented musician. AUGUST 23RD PETER"S radio interview with Jason Jeffries of JJRADIO in HOLLYWOOD is back on. Tune in Thursday, the 24TH, at 8:20 Pacific time and 11:20 Eastern time. If you live anywhere else you will have to figure it out on you're own because I am clueless with the Time Zone thing. It's going to be great, so don't miss it! AUGUST 18TH Look out Aussies! The Ronn Moss band is heading your way. Ronn will be there on Monday getting ready to do some interviews for radio and tv, before they actually start the SHARP DRESSED MAN TOUR. Get your tickets now because I have a feeling the shows will be selling out! Understood! AUGUST 11TH Thank you everyone that took time to let Peter know you were thinking about him on his birthday. I haven't got a response yet but maybe he slept late after a night of celebrating. Getting older does require more shut-eye, although I myself am up every night till 2 working(more like playing) on my computer. Thanks so much!!! AUGUST 10TH  I am so amazed, and I know Peter will be too, by all of the birthday messages on the Guestbook. They are well deserved. I'm hoping PB gets to relax a little on his special day. You hear that Ronn? A day off makes a nice gift. It's free, and you don't have to struggle with wrapping paper(like I always do). Ok, so he needs to rehearse as time is running out before the band heads to Australia for the Sharp Dressed Man Tour. Wait,let me reword that! He does not "need" to rehearse as he is already quite awesome, but it's required.... so...ENJOY YOUR DAY, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO PB, BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT! AUGUST 9TH Does anyone know what tomorrow is? Yes, it is Tony Banderas'birthday, according to my calendar, but I'm talking about something important here. Tomorrow is the birthday of "The Man With The Golden Vocal Chords", Peter Beckett. I hope everyone takes a few moments to sign his Guestbook and wish him well. We are blessed to know the great talents of this man. He has inspired so many others and continues to do so. Let's recognize that! PETER!! AUGUST 7TH Rehearsals have started up again for the Sharp Dressed Man Tour. Two weeks to go before the band will be in Australia, August 24th. Peter's birthday is in three days, August 10th, so don't forget to post your wishes to him on his GUESTBOOK page. Maybe he doesn't want to be reminded but sorry PB, if we have to have birthdays, then so do you! JULY 31TH Tomorrow, August 1st, is the start of yet another cool contest on this website. Originally, the prize was going to be 'The Best Of Player' cd, signed by Peter. Last night at the last minute, I decided to give away Peter's autographed solo cd 'BECKETT' once again. There's something about this cd that gets to me, and I wish everyone could listen to it and own it. Every song is a masterpiece, and well, you just can't mess with perfection. Don't get me wrong, I love all the PLAYER stuff too, but BECKETT is PETER!! I am so proud just to be in this position to give someone such a great gift. So don't forget to enter on the Contest page(of course), and next time I will give away 'The Best Of Player'. (can't swear on it though!) JULY 24TH Today was a big day in broadcasting history. Ok, so I exaggerate! I did an interview on jjradio about Peter. I did tend to be a little nervous. Can you imagine? Me clamming up while talking about Peter? Now that's a first! DJ Jason Jeffries did an excellent job and played three great tunes of Peter's: "Baby Come Back"," The Bottom Line", "Brother Louie". Three great choices but then any of Peter's songs would have been worth listening. As soon as Peter returns from vacation, Jason will have Peter on the show live. I will keep you informed of this great event. Check out jjradio as they play the great bands from the 70's and 80's. |
