Peter Horan is one of Australia’s top piano and keyboard players, famous for the energy of his live performances, his unique piano style and versatility. Over the years, he has established an enviable reputation and nation wide following.

Peter’s interest in the piano began when he was given a toy “Grand” at the age of 2, and then his first “real” upright piano when he was 6. Soon afterwards, he began having lessons, and continued on to be classically trained by the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Now a full time musician, this brilliant pianist is also a very successful song-writer and entertainer.

Peter receives airplay all around Australia, support also extending to New Zealand and Stations overseas. He plays a wide range of classic piano pieces and all time favourites.

He had enormous success with his own composition, “Goanna”, which became almost a ‘household name’, following the many accolades from Radio Broadcaster John Laws, and it has also become Peter’s signature tune.

As an independent, self funded artist, the sales of Peter’s albums have exceeded all expectations. He records all albums at his home in Bathurst N.S.W., and his 9th C.D., “The Christmas Album”, will be released later this year.

Peter has had the opportunity to travel most of Australia and N.Z., his “Concert Style” performances proving so successful, that many venues are booked out weeks ahead. Despite his busy schedule, he always manages to catch up with his many fans, both old and new, some driving long distances to hear him play piano favourites, from classical to country, and everything in between.

Always a very popular performer at Festivals, Peter has won many awards. Over the past few years, in addition to his guest appearances, he has had his own concerts at these Festivals, playing to packed audiences who love his special kind of music.

In addition to being nominated for several Golden Guitar Awards, Peter was also inducted into the “Country Music Hands of Fame” in 2002 at Tamworth, and in 2003, won “Instrumental Act”, in “Queensland’s Entertainer of the Year Award”.

Peter keeps in contact with his fans, by sending out newsletters twice a year. These are very popular, so just contact him if you’d like your name added to the mailing list. With the exception of a very few outlets, the albums are only available at his performances, or direct from Peter at the above address. All are priced at $25, which includes postage.
