Peter Asher: Songs and Stories

“…as Mr. Asher regaled a delighted audience with stories… he conjured history in the making, before it was set in stone.” – Stephen Holden, New York Times

“…the exuberant Mr. Asher knew anyone who rocked and everyone who mattered.” –Wall Street Journal

“An all-around charming and delightful fellow… highly entertaining” – Steve Martin

“The Man, The Myth, The Legend! …and a true friend! Great wit and music. A true storyteller! What more could you possibly want? Don’t miss this!”–Hans Zimmer

Peter Asher invites you to join him for an intimate live concert event as he follows up his first UK tour in a almost a decade. He envisioned a new event to sit creatively alongside his friend Graham Nash’s great show in their October concert dates together in Great Britain, and he’s already enjoying this new show so much that he’s adding more US dates in 2026. .

We first came to know him through the global smash “World Without Love” as one half of the British Invasion duo Peter & Gordon, whose 10 Top 40 hits (“Lady Godiva”, “I Go To Pieces”, Lennon/McCartney’s “Woman”, “I Don’t to See You Again” etc) cemented them in our collective consciousness. But Peter ultimately became a legend in the entertainment world as an A & R executive for the Beatles’ Apple Records, and as manager and/or producer of the likes of James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Morrissey, Roger Waters and so many more. His worked reached incredible heights of both success and creativity, landing him on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in the 70s and finally resulting in a trip to Buckingham Palace as he became a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 2015. His work as the producer, alongside Walter Afanasieff, of Barbra Streisand’s June 2025 release The Secret Of Life: Partners Volume 2 brought him into the studio with America’s most legendary female vocalist as they worked on songs with James Taylor, Paul McCartney, Sting, Sam Smith, Hozier, Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, Laufey and more.

As the title suggests, this spellbinding event will bring to you the songs and stories that have endeared Peter to generations of fans through his music with Peter & Gordon, the great recordings he’s produced, and his SiriusXM radio show, “From Me To You”, and the book based on it, “The Beatles From A to Zed.”

Peter’s ensemble will be a trio for these intimate shows! Robert Berry will feature on piano, bass, and vocals, with Aubrey Richmond on mandolin, violin, and vocals.
