Peter Blegvad is an American-born singer-songwriter, lyricist and cartoonist who began his musical career in the early 1970s after relocating to the United Kingdom, working principally in avant-pop, art rock and experimental music. His work combines surreal, literate lyrics with melodic pop structures and complex arrangements, encompassing collaborations with avant-rock ensembles and a solo output that intersects songwriting, theatre and visual art within late-20th-century and contemporary art-pop circles.
