Peter Janson

Guitarist Peter Janson lives in Boston Massachusetts and has been forging his own path as an independent solo guitarist since 2000. Building what he considers a meaningful life, Peter’s music events are an important part of that - he performs concerts, tours regularly, founded his own Eastern Woods Music label, gives guitar workshops, and he directs jazz ensembles and private guitar lessons at the University of Massachusetts Boston. For Janson, playing solo jazz guitar is both his passion and love - he is inspired by the solo guitar works of Pat Metheny, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Wolfgang Muthspiel, and jazz legends like Joe Pass, Earl Klugh, and Jim Hall. Now growing in international recognition, Peter signed worldwide sub-publishing deals with STOMP Music Korea and SUPREME SONGS Limited (UK based) in October 2022. For the last twenty-five years he has performed extensively throughout North America; most notably at Carnegie Hall and the Montreal Jazz Festival, has had music placed in video games, commercials and news documentaries, charted on Billboard for 11 weeks in top 10 (as session guitarist) and has a growing base of fans from 137 countries. His latest recording, Getting To Here, is in rotation on over 75 radio stations globally.
