UNLIMITED BROADCAST

SNEEZY WATERS
Sneezy Waters (Peter Hodgson) performs very few of his own songs. His repertoire is selected from a variety of contemporary 'pop' music sources and he has a prefer­ence for the country-folk idiom. For years Sneezy played in a group led by his close friend country singer Nev Hudson, performed in coffee houses around Ottawa, and, since striking out on his own, developed a repertoire of over five hundred songs. He has an extended engagement for Festival Canada in the National Arts Centre and was featured on CBC television's "Singin' and Campin'". For his CBC Radio session, Sneezy's concert series include the radio feature, "Between Ourselves", and the Ottawa morning show, "Town Talk". "Sneezy performs very simply and with obvious enjoyment; his songs have a jaunty comic flair to them, exemplified by Woody Guthrie's light hearted drive in "DO RE MI"—with its familiar plea among the down and out to "Go Canadian."

His training is in classical piano and guitar and currently he is studying jazz keyboard improvisation, which has become one of the strongest influences in his lyric.
