 After his father took a teaching position at the University of Utah, which took the family to Salt Lake City, Breinholt formed a band with friends that performed classic and alternative rock at college fraternity parties and high school "stomps".It wasn't until Peter became a student at the University of Utah, however, that he began showcasing his original songs at informal gatherings and at local restaurants.A homemade tape of his music began circulating on the University of Utah campus, which led to an official recording done at a Salt Lake City recording studio in June 1993.
