About Pete:
After deciding piano just wasn’t his thing, Pete picked up guitar in his teens starting first with punk, and 12 bar blues jams, and then quickly moving to rock/metal in the 80’s for more of a challenge. He started playing in bands as soon as he strung his first original song together, and hasn’t looked back since. Taking a small break in the late 90’s, Pete came back strong in 2007 as the guitarist on Rockarma’s “Bring It!”, and moving forward from there (see full discography below), playing for audiences around the US and as far as the UK, sharing the stage with the likes of Vince Neil, Dokken, Tesla, Queensryche, LA Guns, etc.
