Vienna Teng with Peter Mulvey
"I was in a long-distance relationship with music for many years," jokes songwriter Vienna Teng. "Now we’re finally moving back in together." Since her 2002 debut album, Waking Hour, Vienna has appeared on NPR, David Letterman, and topped Amazon’s charts. Her 2013 album, Aims, won four Independent Music Awards. Balancing music with a career in environmental sustainability and becoming a parent, she created "We’ve Got You," a duet of contrasting perspectives. In 2022, she launched a "music x climate action" community on Patreon, merging her passions and inspiring audiences through workshops and live shows. Now, she's focused on communion and moving forward.
Peter Mulvey, a songwriter, raconteur, and almost-poet, started his career busking in Dublin in 1989. Back in the U.S., he gigged through the Midwest and Boston, transitioning from small shows to national tours. With twenty albums, thousands of performances, a TEDx talk, and collaborations with artists like Ani DiFranco and Emmylou Harris, his diverse career includes NPR appearances, an annual bicycle tour, festival emceeing, and his Lamplighter Sessions in Boston and Wisconsin. Mulvey's work is defined by collaboration and a passion for the eclectic and vital.
