“I am not cool,” Peter McPoland told the Tuesday night crowd at the 9:30 Club, most of whom kept their puffers on in the surprisingly chilly venue. There were a couple tentative whoops from the crowd. McPoland smiled and lifted one hand. “Come on, cheer!” 

Peter McPoland will take the stage at 9:30 Club on Tuesday evening next week, touring for his second full-length album, Big Lucky. The album was released on September 26, 2025, and features an entirely self-produced sound and artistic identity, down to the cover art, which was painted by McPoland himself.
