Peter Elkas is an award-winning singer songwriter and producer from Toronto, Canada. Originally from Montreal, he spent is formative years in the alt-rock band Local Rabbits. As a touring session multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, he has toured internationally backing the likes of Neko Case, Joel Plaskett, Andy Kim, and others.

His latest effort is SWEET SPOT, a self-produced RnB yacht-rocker that finds Elkas completely at the helm of his production and songwriting craft. His guitar and keyboard work are in full effect, but it’s the influence of vocalists like the Chi Lites, the Commodores, and Michael McDonald that is most apparent in Elkas’ vocal performances and arrangements. He is accompanied by his longtime bandmates Gavin Maguire on drums, Jeremy Little on bass, and Jeff Heisholt on clavinet keyboard.

“I have been whittling away at this song for some time. It’s a grateful description of the life I try to keep and the fruits that grow from seeds unwittingly sown. Let it take you aboard my sonic yacht and help you appreciate what you have. It is dedicated to the memory of my friend and sweet spot dweller Harold Feist.”
