PETER KATZ & ROB SZABO EMBARK ON THE LANKY WIMPS TOUR

(PRLEAP.COM) Peter Katz is teaming up with Rob Szabo for the western part of his coast to coast tour that they have dubbed The Lanky Wimps Tour inspired by Kinnie Starr’s Scrappy Bitch Tour. “We’re basically playing into the stereotype that male singer-songwriters are these brooding, hyper-sensitive wimpy guys,” explains Katz, “which really we are! But that’s not all we do and there’s much more to be found in the show. We’re also two tall, lanky guys in a tiny cramped car driving across the country, which for some reason we think is kind of funny.”

Press Reviews of Katz’s latest album More Nights:

“At his best Peter Katz can sound like Billy Bragg.” - James Sandham, Spill Magazine

“He carves his own niche in the industry and delivers a unique blend of folk with a vintage sound reminiscent of Ron Sexsmith, or early Dave Matthews.” - Andrew Seale, Spill Magazine

“Beautiful and intimate, More Nights is an album from a young Canadian artist that shows true musical brilliance. More Nights deserves to explode onto the indie rock scene and hopefully gets Peter Katz the credit he deserves for creating such enjoyable, personal folk music.” – Gauntlet

“Katz resembles kindred spirit Ron Sexsmith and his subtle acoustic charm, while channeling Hawksley Workman’s grief stricken vocals. The music is reinforced by Katz’s genuinely heartbreaking take on modern day love-tragedies…..More Nights begs the question: why is such a talented songwriter with such well-crafted pop songs still an independent artist?” – Jason Gladu, popjournalism

Peter Katz’s video for the powerful song “Forgiveness” can be seen on the CBC Exposure website http://www.cbc.ca/exposure/node/7329
