Guitarist vocalist Peter "Hi-Fi" Ward knows blues and swing. In the 1980s he crisscrossed the U.S. and Canada with the Legendary Blues Band that had backed the Muddy Waters Band.
Born and raised in Maine, Peter moved to Massachusetts and backed a Who's Who of blues artists including Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, Sunnyland Slim and Jimmy Rogers. He was married to the late Mai Cramer who had a blues program on WGBH radio. Peter produced a CD of western swing that featured the late steel guitarist Herb Remington, an original member of Bob Wills & his Texas Playboys. HIs debut solo blues CD, "Blues on My Shoulders," (2017) received terrific reviews. A new CD "Train to Key Biscayne" will be released in the Spring of 2019.
