Philadelphia singer/songwriter Peter Matthew Bauer performed for today’s Free At Noon and filled World Cafe Live with energetic rock tunes. The former Walkmen organist warmed everyone up from the cold with his slow jam “Hold On To Someone”, then later serenaded his hometown with the fast-paced track “Philadelphia Raga”, utilizing back up vocals and upbeat drums to fill out the sound.

Bauer extended an extra thanks to folks for digging their way through the snow to make it out and closed the set with his funky tune “I Was Born In An Ashram”, explaining that yes, perhaps the name was self-explanatory but that the song was an important step for him in coming to terms with his heritage. After playing an honest show, Bauer humbly dipped his head upon his finish and thanked the crowd one last time before ducking off stage.

Peter Bauer is currently playing a series of Living Room Shows across the country, his next one taking place in Brooklyn. You can find more information on these shows by clicking here. Miss today’s Free At Noon? Listen back in our archives and give a click through the photo gallery below.
