Peter Himmelman, born in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, in 1959, cut his teeth in the Minneapolis indie rock band Sussman Lawrence before striking out on a long and busy solo career. By the time of Flown This Acid World in 1992 he was a guitar-slinging songwriter with a restless, searching streak, and "Beneath the Damage and the Dust" shows him at his best: a big-hearted, ringing rocker with a chorus that opens up like the Minnesota sky.
He never stuck to one lane, either. Alongside the records he built a second life writing music for film and television.
