Back in April, Georgetown Student Peter Fanone (COL ’15) released his new single, “Friends For Now.” Peter has been writing songs since middle school and began recording while attending high school at Georgetown Prep in Bethesda, MD. Last semester, he released an EP called Dreams, Fate and Everything In Between, but for his next release he’s looking forward to exploring the folkier sound he developed on “Friends For Now,” inspired by his love of bands like The Avett Brothers and Simon & Garfunkel.
