At Gabe’s Oasis, on this night, young Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Peter Walker -- no stranger to the Iowa City sushi scene -- was dealt a crowd of five celebrating a friend’s 21st birthday and a squadron of 10-12 white plastic lawn chairs planted near the stage and full of University of Iowa medical students.
One of those students was Walker’s girlfriend and most of the crowd was a combination of friends or friends by association, there on the first night of what will be a month-long U.S. tour in support of his recently released debut Landed.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Peter Walker: Landed
It's hard to say where exactly the path that led Peter Walker to a San Francisco warehouse, cutting demos with a buddy, diverged toward a studio stocked with all-star musicians like Wilco's Jay Bennett, superdrummer-for-hire Joey Waronker and Beck stagemate Justin Meldal-Johnson.
Walker sounds the most heartfelt here, asking, "No one can see me / But you, can you see me? / It's good to know you're there." "Gone Away" extends this mood with its slow, dark electronic swirls; Walker wisely notes, "Oh, what a night will do to anyone."
Walker has a knack for penning smart, forthright, unvarnished rock songs that are imbued with bitterness and hard-earned insight but go down easy.

Pepper’s and plenty of Led Zeppelin, down in the basement when he went off to college.  Peter made the most of this treasure, even using the LPs as canvases for chalk drawings.  This perhaps presaged his skate-punk years, when he listened to The Descendants and Dead Kennedys and “got into vandalism” and other delinquent activity.
