ABOUT PETE:
Along for the Ride – Tiny Desk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VijGAUr5k6M
Black Like Cash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G_yRB575ns
Already a popular voice in the Baltimore/Washington Area before moving to Nashville, Pete and his band, aptly named Peterbuilt, has opened for established stars, including Jack Ingram and Pat Green. Pete released his debut CD, Built to Last, in 2008 and made a splash with fans at the 2008 CMA Music Festival. Growing up in Annapolis, Maryland, Pete enjoyed a variety of musical styles but developed a passion for country music due to the lyric-driven content of the songs. It’s great to connect with an audience, but I am first and foremost a songwriter, Pete says. I love to tell a great story through music. Pete signed with Dan Hodges Music, LLC in January 2011 and was with the company until 2016.

reHAASh day is gonna be the best day ever. Kevin Martin (The Geckos), will be joining us, along with Mike Noonan and Tim Stanley (Unified Jazz Ensemble). Of course, Ahren Buchheister will be playing guitars, Mickey Eckman will be banging musically on the drums, while Larry Melton holds down the low end on bass. We might even have Elisa Freeman adding harmony vocals. The biggest mystery will be how we all fit in the back room.
We’ve got a full night of original songs, and two long sets of Bob Schneider tunes. Don’t miss it. Or maybe consider joining us. What I’m trying to say is… you should come.
49 West. 7:30pm. 410-626-9796 for reservations.
