Peter Asher invites you to join him for an intimate live concert event as he prepares for his first UK tour in a almost a decade. He's created a new event to sit creatively alongside his friend Graham Nash's great show in their October concert dates together in Great Britian.

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.

This show differs from his typical memoir show or his concert with Jermey Clyde in that there is no video component. The emphasis will be on 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.”

The show will include a Q & A with Peter, then a concert set of 45 minutes (as in the 45 minute show he'll present in the UK in support of Graham Nash), followed by an encore with additional songs. Peter will be joined Chris Stills on vocals, piano, and guitar(more on Chris below) and Aubrey Richmond, from the wonderful Americana band Mustangs of the West on vocals, violin, and mandolin.

In addition to having CHRIS STILLS in Peter’s ensemble, we’re delighted to have him in the support slot for Peter Asher on this brief tour.

Chris released his debut album 100 Year Thing on Atlantic Records in 1998, with his follow up Chris Stills coming in 2005. He has toured supporting his releases with a diverse slate of artists, including Richard Ashcroft, Mandy Moore, and Ryan Adams. His new album, Hail To The Road, is being unveiled track by track starting in June 2025. As an actor, he has worked the stage, big screen and television, including the role of Julius Caesar in the French stage musical Cléopâtre, la dernière reine d'Égypte, as Alexander Child in the French film by director Jerome LeGris called Requiem for a Killer , and had a regular guest role on two seasons of His first work in the world of music was as a roadie for his father, Stephen Stills, in 1993.
