Peter McWhirter Concludes Whirlwind Week of
CMA Music Fest Activities
2009
Telstra Road to Tamworth Winner to Remain in Nashville for Recording Session with Producer Mark Moffatt

(Nashville, TN - June 15, 2009) Australia's Peter McWhirter entertained Music City audiences last week with multiple performances during the 2009 CMA Music Festival, held June 11-14 in downtown Nashville, Tenn.

The 2009 winner of Australia's Telstra Road to Tamworth talent competition, McWhirter traveled to Nashville to participate in this year's CMA Music Fest activities, which included a jam-packed performance at the Riverfront Park Daytime Stage on Friday, June 12.

"This has been one of the most exciting weeks of my life," said McWhirter. "Now that I've played at one of the world's greatest music festivals, I can't wait to start recording my album here in Nashville."

The 19-year-old is currently recording his debut album with veteran Nashville producer Mark Moffatt. Moffatt, originally from Australia, works with the Telstra Road to Tamworth winner each year as part of the competition's awarded prize package.

"Peter is an enthusiastic young performer that really knows how to work a crowd," says Moffatt. "His performance at the CMA Music Festival definitely proves that. I'm looking forward to working with him for the next few weeks and putting some of that personality down on his debut record."

McWhirter also performed at the CMA Global Artist Party on Monday, June 8 2009, at The Stage on Broadway to jump-start this year's week of festivities. A recap of Monday and Tuesday's global events can be viewed at www.AristoMedia.com/blog .

McWhirter is scheduled to remain in Nashville for the rest of June to complete his recording sessions with Moffatt.
