Peter’s success in career to date has already seen him tour with some of his childhood influences, including US country hitmaker Joe Nichols and Canadian roots star Corb Lund, as well as sharing festival bills with superstars like Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
Now with his debut album in stores and the CMC Music Award for 2012 New Oz Artist of the Year in his trophy case, the 22-year-old has his sights set on the future and is ready to take on the music scene with his own unique signature of mainstream country.
His first album Lucky As A Seven, says a lot about this amazingly talented singer- songwriter. Barely out of his teens when he penned the opening track and debut single ‘Humm’, it raced straight to the top of the country music charts.
The musical blend – recorded and produced in Nashville with Grammy nominated Australian producer Mark Moffatt (Keith Urban, Tim Finn, Nick Cave, Jasmine Rae) – comes out of McWhirter’s upbringing on the outskirts of Sydney in Campbelltown, where he discovered his musical abilities at an early age.
