Peter and the Wolf is the band formed by musician Red Hunter. Hunter says about his song writing, "I carry a journal everywhere with me. I will stop in the middle of whatever I'm doing to write down an idea, whether it's something I think about, hear, observe, or whatever. It's my highest priority to make sure I capture these ideas, as the craft of songwriting is a lifelong pursuit".

After the release of "Lightness" the band performed several shows in graveyards, islands, as well as more regular venues. [ [http://bothsidesofthemouth.blogspot.com/2006/11/peter-and-wolf.html Both Sides of the Mouth ] ] The newest album, "The Ivori Palms", was released in September, 2007.

Peter and the Wolf has been working on a new album called "Mellow Owl", which was written and recorded on a farm in Canada. As Red Hunter told Splice Today in a recent interview, "I'm trying out all kinds of new stuff here to see what works. I'm really influenced by these native dudes I met in Fiji who sang super mellow beach harmonies, so I guess it'll be some island jams." [Splice Today interview]
