PERFORMING SONGWRITER | MARCH, 2004

Fans of independent films may already be familiar with New York singer-songwriter Peter Salett – he’s participated in four Sundance Film Festivals, and his songs have appeared in The Maldonado Miracle (Salma Hayek’s directorial debut) and Keeping The Faith (directed by and starring Ed Norton) among others. With After A While, Salett once again shows his ability to construct laid-back, wistful songs unhindered by overproduction.

Accompanied by sparse piano, guitar and an unobtrusive rhythm section, Salett’s voice is easy on the ears. His writing is affecting and honest, and his delivery as understated and bittersweet as the likes of Ron Sexsmith or David Gray.
