There Is A Light

Description

'There Is A Light', the remarkable, posthumous album recorded by Australian singer songwriter, Peter Stein, comes with an equally remarkable story.
A few months before his tragic and unexpected demise, Peter took 18 songs he'd written, marched into Brighton Electric Studios in his newly adopted home of Brighton, where he announced that he'd like to record an entire album in 2 days. Any dismay he was met with was swiftly dismissed with a 'don't worry mate, I'll get it done', kind of attitude
Growing up in a sparse and dusty 1950s Perth, Australia, he caught the music bug early. Like many others at the time, he found himself electrified upon hearing The Beatles. That of course led him down
the Rock'N'Roll rabbit hole
Recording this album was something he perhaps, prophetically sensed had to be achieved. It had been more than 10 years since the last album he'd recorded back in Australia. Call it a deep knowing.
The album title There Is A Light, encapsulates Peter Stein well. It points to his eternal optimism, deep curiosity and faith, which deeply informed who he was and his songwriting. another time and another place far beyond this one, where I've no doubt he will be waiting, with a knowing smile and a well worn hat, strumming on that guitar.
