Artist description Peter Lehndorff was once called "skewed" by the Springfield Union News. He considers that a compliment. He writes stand-up folk: humorous songs about everyday life. His off-beat songs poke fun at things we generally overlook: our cars, what we eat, where we live and the things that we are too afraid to admit we are even afraid of. His CD "Love on the Line" features humorous songs about events and things that most normal people would probably overlook. The song "Old Yellow Datsun" is a duet with Dar Williams. He also has backup help from Kevin Lynch, Dana Pomfret, Jeff Pevar, and others.

Press Reviews “ ...intelligent lyrical vignettes of everyday life and the comical trappings of suburbia... delivered with an acute sense of comedic timing.” -The Springfield (MA) Union News Dirty Linen Magazine called East Longmeadow “a tongue-in-cheek anthem to suburbia.” New England Performer Magazine called Everything Takes Longer “hilarious”...“Imagine Sam Elliot or Nick Nolte singing a tune written by Nick Drake and Carlos Jobim and you’ll get the picture – a gem.” “Like the best of them, Lehndorff uses humor to point out life’s little truths. – Dave Perry, Lowell (MA) Sun “Peter Lehndorff has established his own voice, his own good natured wonder at the all-too-visible mysteries of this modern world.” – Jim Foley, KXCI-fm Tuscon (AZ) “His lyrics are wry, but have an honest, lived-in, everyday quality. Lehndorff’s not a wise guy, but a man with a keen sense of what is both weird and touching in our shared human experience.” – Dwight Thurston,WWUH-fm Hartford (CT) Tom Lehrer with chops. – John McLaughlin,WESU-fm, Ohio
