Singer-songwriter Peter Mulvey has lived in Ireland and Boston, where he earned spare change as a busker, but he frequently returns back to his native Milwaukee, sometimes as part of green national tours on his bicycle. Tonight, the contemporary folkie will be playing from his latest album, Letters From a Flying Machine, an unlikely mix of folk-pop and spoken-word material.
