This  is a concept recording for what will someday become a Broadway Musical.  Yes, this is an opera in the truest sense. Satan's Preacher Man is not a band or a group. It's an Event!

Satan’s Preacher Man - The Blues Opera, is a landmark recording in the history of the Blues. Beginning with the legend of Robert Johnson and mixing in the mythology of the Blues, Robert Dwight Brown & Rick Terlep have created a masterpiece of lyrical storytelling and musical composition. Written over the course of nine years and composed over the course of four, this Opera has become (at the same time) a profane, blasphemous, and yet strikingly Christian allegory. The Book of Revelation as told from the Devil’s point of view.

This 2 DISC Compact Disc release has something for everyone, Holy and Unholy, Christian and Satanist alike. It is like nothing you have heard before, “It’s so different, it’s cool”

At nearly two hours in length, this grand 2 DISC Blues Opera will appeal to fans of the Blues; both Christians and Satanists alike will find great meaning, if one only looks deep enough.

This release also contains enhanced content including the libretto, stage script, and liner notes.

Peter Burg has been known regionally in Colorado as a singer and songwriter and performs regularly with his original blues band Blue Suburban. They have been heard on radio and have performed at many festivals and venues throughout Colorado. This time Peter has embarked on a solo venture with his latest release, Dizzy Light.

Using the blues as a stepping stone, Peter deals with his own particular frailties in the search concerning spiritual awakening, faith, and moral consequence. Blues is not exclusive here. From his musical history he has drawn snippets from jug and string bands, rural country flavors, simple gospel, and primitive beats and brought them together into what is undoubtedly Peter’s best recorded work to date. Dizzy Light initially began as a purely acoustic project but rapidly grew in complexity with the addition of further instrumentation as period or cultural ambiance was needed. As Peter drew on several friends to add their own talents, he remarked “The studio is a canvass on which an idea can be worked out using a store house of colors to indulge one’s imagination. The trick is not to get too carried away and lose the edge, focus and direction.” The goal here was to capture a feeling often missed by large commercial studios and labels with their high production quotas.

Dizzy Light features Peter Burg on acoustic and electric guitar, bass, mandolin, harmonica, dulcimer, recorder, tenor banjo, and percussion  with the sounds of Rick Terlep on slide guitar,  Bruce Paulman on harmonica,  David Gouge on accordion, James Schafer on violin, and Danny Weston on drums.

The Outlaw Blues is a new subgenre of blues music that draws its influences from the American Southwest, New Orleans, the Mississippi Delta, Rockabilly and Folk Rock with an original Outlaw Beat. This is also the music of a larger worldwide literary movement, the Outlaw Movement. The Outlaw Movement is about artists absorbing outside influences and recreating their art form in their own image. The lyrics originate from Outlaw poetry while the vocal style and music are  in themselves, Outlaw, that is a whole variety of musical influences internalized and recreated to revitalize the sound through the persona of the artist. The Outlaw Movement is also enhanced by the spirit of outlaw personas such as Billy the Kid, Jesse James, and John Dillinger. Tony Moffeit and guitarist Rick Terlep capture the musical essence of the movement in this studio release that has been based on Tony and Rick’s nationwide performances over the last few years. This is the Blues “sand papered, sliced, diced, and all scratched to hell.”

Tony Moffeit is the blues poet from Pueblo, Colorado who was the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts creative writing fellowship in poetry, as well as the winner of the Thomas Hornsby Ferril Poetry Prize and the prestigious Jack Kerouac Award.  Throughout the last two decades, Moffeit has introduced outlaw essays and other writings that were some of the early roots of the philosophy of Outlaw Poetry.  In 2004 Moffeit, in collaboration with poet Todd Moore, officially founded the Outlaw Poetry Movement.
