“He has a wonderfully soulful voice and a great sense of melody that makes me want to write and sing better and try harder.”

PETER ELKAS’ sophomore album “Wall of Fire” is an outpouring of beautiful, introspective songs. “I want people to feel romantic about it,” Elkas says. “It is a romantic record in the sense of romance between a man and a woman, but there’s also a friendship vibe going on.”
