Pete Nelson will join October 6 Song & Story Swap

Please come share in an evening of music and stories at the Pioneer Valley
Folklore Society Song & Story Swap.

Saturday, October 6, 7:00 p.m. at the The Nacul Center, 592 Main St.,
Amherst, Mass.

Guest performer at the October 6 Song & Story Swap will be singer-songwriter
and author, Pete Nelson.

Pete Nelson is a gifted storyteller, whether the medium is the printed page
or a song lyric. His songs comprise two CDs released on the Signature
Sounds label, The Restless Boys Club, and Days Like Horses.

Pete received his MFA from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop. He has
published both fiction and non-fiction in a variety of national magazines,
including Harpers, Playboy, Esquire, MS, Outside, The Iowa Review, National
Wildlife, Glamour and Redbook. His writing gigs have included work as a
columnist for Mademoiselle, a staff writer for LIVE Magazine and a
contributing editor and feature writer for Wondertime magazine. His novel.
I Thought You Were Dead (Algonquin, April 2010), set in Northampton, tells
the story of a man and his beloved talking dog, Stella. The novel was named
an Indie Next #1 Choice and reached the NEIBA Bestsellers List.

Maine Public Radio has described Pete Nelson as "perhaps the best, yet
unfortunately least known songwriter in the U.S." Catch his performance in
Amherst on October 6 at the Song & Story Swap.
