“We’re part of a long train ride,” is the way Peter Yarrow visualizes the many events that have highlighted a career spanning more than four decades. With characteristic care, Yarrow places the success he’s had within a greater context, seeing his accomplishments as part of a tradition, to be credited and carried on.
Peter’s talents as a creative artist, both with Peter, Paul & Mary and as a solo Performer are frequently directed at using music to convey a message of humanity and caring. His gift for songwriting has produced some of the most
moving songs Peter, Paul & Mary have recorded, including “Puff, the Magic Dragon,” “Day is Done,” “Light One Candle,” and “The Great Mandala.” As a member of the renowned musical trio, he has earned many gold and platinum albums, has been awarded numerous Grammys, and nominated for several more. More important to Peter, however, is the acknowledgment of the central role that he and his partners have played in bringing the folk renaissance of the 1960s to the hearts and homes of the American public. Peter has explored his talents in filmmaking as well, producing the critically acclaimed feature, “You are What You Eat,” as well as three animated television specials based on “Puff, the Magic Dragon,” for which he received an Emmy nomination.
