Among Savages is a living, evolving musical about one man’s coming to terms with the trials and treasures of fading youth. With a raw vulnerability, American songwriter Peter Barbee creates a grandiose musical backdrop for his simple and candid style of storytelling. An eclectic mix of literary and musical influences infuse his music with surprising and unorthodox orchestrations and bring a classic nostalgia to otherwise innovative arrangements. Reading much like the chapters of a novel, Barbee’s music invites us into a very personal yet universal struggle with evolution, identity, and self actualization.
Barbee released his first album “Wanderings Of An Illustrative Mind” in 2012 under the moniker “Among Savages” and released his sophomore album “Accounts of Friend and Foe” over this past summer.
