"Dog's Eye View is a group formed by traveling guitarist Peter Stuart and his producer Jimbo Barton. Stuart formerly worked with the Counting Crows in the ‘90s as a backup vocalist as well as working supporting acts with Tori Amos and Cracker. While touring, Stuart handed out his own demo tape which he created himself, and eventually sold over 6,000 copies of the tape. Along with Barton, Stuart brought along drummer Neil Nunziato, bassist Mike Visceglia, cellist Dawn Buckhola and violinist Regina Ballantese. The group formed in New York and immediately started a record label buzz with their singles. Their 1996 hit ""Everything Falls Apart"" came out of nowhere and threw the boys of Dog's Eye View for a mainstream loop, as they saw loads of radio and MTV airplay.Stuart was always affected by music. After his father's sudden death when he was still a boy, Stuart found inspiration in Cat Steven's Tea for the Tillerman and eventually went on to perform as a solo artist in Chicago after attending Northwestern University. After performing his music locally, and earning a loyal fan base via his mailing list and e-mail chats, Stuart joined Adam Duritz's Counting Crows as both an opening act and groupie. Columbia Records execs were impressed by his work during the Counting Crows shows and signed Dog's Eye View in 1994. The group recorded their album, which was co-produced and entirely written by Stuart. After the success of ""Everything Falls Apart"" the group went on tour supporting their album.Their sophomore effort appeared in 1997 and had several more collaborations, including multi-instrumentalist and producer Jon Brion. In 2005 Dog's Eye View released Tomorrow Always Comes with Vanguard."
