Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
Red Peters (a pseudonym for Boston-area comedian Douglas Stevens) is a musician and songwriter who has made five CDs. He is the host of The Red Peters Comedy Music Hour on Sirius XM, and a frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show.

In 1984, the song "Blow Me (You Hardly Even Know Me)" was the first single ever released by Stevens as "Red Peters," as a 45rpm single. He co-wrote the song with Ed Grenga (a.k.a. "Babe Marino"), who also gave Stevens the stage name "Red Peters." As Peters told Outer Shell Magazine, "My music director, Babe Marino, and I were messing around with a big band arrangement one day and the words just flowed out. We brought the scratch recording to a party that night and people went shithouse for it. We went on to formally record it with his orchestra along with the Alan Pinchloaf Singers."

In 1990, Peters released "How's Your Whole... Family?" as a second single. This led to a full-length release, produced by Grenga, in 1995 for Ugly Sisters Records, I Laughed... I Cried... I Fudged My Undies! A nationwide radio tour followed, including the Mancow Muller show, the Dr. Demento radio show, and eventually Howard Stern. On his first appearance on Stern's show in 1996, he sang "A Ballad of a Dog Named Stains."

In 1999, Peters released his 2nd full-length album, "Ol' Blue Balls Is Back!" on Ball Bag Records. It was again produced by Grenga.

On October 8, 2003, Peters and Ball Bag Records signed an exclusive distribution deal with Oglio Entertainment Group, and his music is distributed by Universal Fontana. This led to two single releases, "I Can't Say These Things" in 2005, and "When I Jerkoff, I Think of You" in 2006. "The Best of the Red Peters Comedy Music Hour, Vol. #1", a compilation album of various artists, was the first full-length release with Oglio in 2007. This album consisted of songs and artists featured on his Sirius Howard 101 radio show.

In 2009, Peters released It's A Red Peters Christmas! Vol. 1, a collection of holiday songs from guests that appeared on his Red Peters Comedy Music Hour holiday radio programs on Sirius XM Howard 101, once again performed by various artists. In 2010, another compilation from his radio show, called Red Peters Presents The Summer Song Sizzler, was released.

In October 2010, Peters and comic Margaret Cho recorded a cover of the Dick Shreve song, "The Christmas Gift (Just A Little Christmas Blow Job)" when Cho was in Boston on her "Cho Dependent" national tour, performing at the Wilbur Theater. The song was released as a single on Oglio Records in November 2010.
