Two years in the making, Peter Spink's second album, All There Is, is a thoughtful, acoustically edgy follow up to Won't Be Denied.

It reached the hands of many fans as a result of Peter's 24 stop outdoor tour with his 5 piece band, sponsored by the international food company Chile Today-Hot Tamale.

Friends Ellis Paul, Cathie Ryan, Annie Burns and Leslie Ritter all lend their voices to the album. It was produced by the Woodstock music-mafia ringleader, producer Scott Petito, and was mixed by reknowned New York City Producer David Seitz at AFG Studios in Manhattan.

Ellis Paul sings with Peter on All Is Fine, a fever dream ride through a New York City subway in the desolate hours.

"Peter's is an energy talent- not screaming; not loud guitars but incredible confidence and personality- it doesn't hurt to know your music is good. He is a young talent with the spirit and the goods to succeed." – John Bates

Cathie Ryan, longtime lead singer for Cherish The Ladies, sings on the title track, All There Is.

Annie Burns (of the Burns Sisters) joins Peter on Say A Prayer, a song inspired by the optimistic community spirit Peter encountered while touring the Midwest.

Leslie Ritter (of Amy and Leslie) returns to join Peter on Going Down, Love Like Listening, and The Way I Want.

Surprises include a cameo appearance by Richard Shindell, playing tambourine on the title track/

The album contains 12 original songs, each road worn from a 175+ gig a year schedule, and filled out with performances by members of The Band and other Woodstock studio musician "hit men."

The Band's Randy Ciarlante returns on drums, along with fellow Band member Aaron "Louie" Hurwitz on keyboards, bringing a live stadium feel to several cuts, including Going Down and The Way I Want.

Other Woodstock Mafia members include Larry Packer on violin, Dean Sharp on drums, Mike D'Amico on electric guitar, Brian Melick on percussion and Scott Petito doing double duty on bass. Regular sidekick and New York City sessionman Chris Tedesco also leaves his distinctive jazz-improvization feel on several tracks.
