"California Blue" Peter Mylett
“California Blue” is a 2011 ballad about California by famed Irish tenor Peter Mylett from Newport, County Mayo, Ireland. A remake of the Roy Orbison classic, “California Blue” takes on a whole new meaning in this emotional rendition by singer-songwriter Peter Mylett, 47, known as “The Mayo Man.” An award-winning authentic Irish tenor, Mylett is currently in demand across the UK and is currently based in Manchester, England — though his heart belongs to the Emerald Isle. Peter Mylett’s three albums, Promises , Something Old/Something New , and Requested Favourites , have earned the talented vocalist a die-hard fan base in Europe. Today, the Irish musician is earning new fans in America. A native of County Mayo, on the west coast of Ireland, Mylett has a special affinity for the California Coast, which reminds the Irish singer so much of his homeland. In the following new video for “California Blue,” the passion of Peter Mylett for the Golden State comes through in a fantastic vocal performance that makes one of the classic songs about California shine like new.
