Event information

"Eric Brace and Peter Cooper bring the sound of East Nashville to my radio shows. Authentic, intelligent and beautifully played...." -- Bob Harris, BBC Radio

Eric Brace is the lead singer and songwriter for the renowned roots rock band Last Train Home. Peter Cooper is a music journalist, professor of country music, and a highly acclaimed songwriter in his own right. When they play together, it's something special. Their most recent project, the Grammy-nominated I Love: Tom T. Hall's Songs of Fox Hollow, Produced by Brace and Cooper, the album features performances by Patty Griffin, Buddy Miller, Bobby Bare, Duane Eddy, Jim Lauderdale, Elizabeth Cook, as well as Brace, Cooper, and others.

Eric and Peter are touring partners and have collaborated on two previous albums. On Master Sessions the pair fronted a band that featured pedal steel guitar legend Lloyd Green and dobro master Mike Auldridge, and the album made numerous critics’ Best-of 2010 lists. Their first record together, You Don’t Have To Like Them Both, was a Top Ten album on the Roots, Americana, and Folk charts.

On tour, their shows are engaging and funny and reflect the pair's easy camaraderie. They can command the stage of a concert hall or festival with the same ease and intimate feel they bring to a coffeehouse. The duo has opened on large stages for John Prine, Nanci Griffith, Don Williams, Todd Snider, Rodney Crowell, Iris Dement and Jerry Douglas, among others.
