[ the blue series ]
Release Date: October 21st, 2008 CD

Pete Wyer’s “Stories from The City At Night” is a true exploration into spoken word,
musical vision, and continuity. The album takes the listen through the streets of
New York City, examining the lives of people, (or maybe a ghost or two), as they traverse through the alleyways and streets of that great city.

With a group of arrangements and thought provoking spoken word performances from some talented orators (including Wyer himself), “Stories from The City At Night” is something you will want to hear again and again, like a favorite book or movie.
