A transplant to the West Coast from the prairies, Peter Davyduck has begun to fill a niche in the Christian recording industry in the Vancouver area. Born and raised in Alberta, Peter began his bass journey in High School after switching from tenor sax. The ensuing years were filled with cover bands and the continuing effort to teach himself to play the electric bass.
After some time in the Okanagan and a brief stay in Victoria BC, Peter moved to Langley BC, a suburb of Vancouver where his career really began. Through friends at the Langley Vineyard church, Peter recorded two CDs for Vineyard Music Canada "Believe" and "All I Need”. It was through these projects that Peter met and played with worship leaders Graham Ord and Brian Doerksen.
Peter's work with Graham Ord has resulted in the CDs "An Offering", "Waiting", "I Am", and "Regarding the Maker". A great blues CD the duo did with their fathers entitled "The Blessed Misfits, A Good Day for the Blues" as well as extensive gigging throughout Canada and the US. With Brian Doerksen, Peter has toured Canada, the US and Europe including a trip in 2007 to Egypt, along with many local and international conferences. In addition to playing live with Brian, Peter contributed bass for Brian’s Integrity Records release “Today” and it’s companion live concert DVD. Peter also appears on Brian’s latest Integrity Records release, the 2008 Contemporary Christian/Gospel JUNO award winning CD “Holy God”.
With Vineyard Music Canada Peter has also recorded vol.3 and vol.4 of the "Home Again" series of CDs, which feature his upright bass work.
Peter has also had the pleasure of working on award winning CDs by Canadian Artists Lianna Klassen as well as with Stephanie Mainville. Along with keeping a busy freelance schedule, Peter teaches bass privately and has contributed interviews; Stu Hamm and Matthew Garrison; and articles to such websites as ActiveBass.com and to the magazine Inside Worship. Peter uses HARTKE bass amplification (3500a with the 410XL as well as the VXL Bass Attack pedal DI/PreAmp) for studio and stage.
