| About Pete Kartsounes |
Pete Kartsounes is no stranger to the life of a full time musician. He has spent the past 14 years writing, recording and performing nationally and internationally. Based out of Boulder, Colorado, Pete is an award winning songwriter and has established himself as a dominant figure in todays music scene***************************************************************************
As a former member of the Wayword Sons "featuring Benny Galloway" (writer behind the songs of Yonder Mountain String Band), Petes new focus is playing festivals and "listening" venues nationwide as a soloist and with his own band (Pete Kartsounes Band). The band consists of an amazing group of some of Boulders finest musicians, who's skill set has the ability to fit the genre of any event. Pete's mixture of musical avenues is extensive, making his music unique. He writes ballads, blues, jazzy, bluegrass, standard-like and sometimes music that isn't so easy to describe other than to say that they are "story-telling" songs. He is also known for his strong, soulful voice, and encompassing lyrics. Since starting the Pete Kartsounes Band in September of 2007, they have been asked back to every festival and venue they have attended. Referred to as a "must see", "truely one of a kind", and "as original as he is diverse" from critics, he is becoming one of the most prolific songwriters of today***************************************************************************
Pete's newest release "Out of Nowhere" is his 3rd and most essential albumn to date. Getting rave reviews and national exposure, it is a tasteful blend of Bluegrass, Jazz, folk, and blues, entwined with acoustic overtones and superb musicianship. The disc includes many well known artists, some of which are Grammy Award Winner Sally Van Meter, Jeff Austin (Yonder Mtn String Band), Drew Emmitt (Leftover Salmon), and Travis Book (The Infamous Stringdusters). It was also recorded in DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format by Gus Skinas, which makes this Cd sonically visual. Gus has worked with many great artists including Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and most recently was hired to remix Pink Floyds' "The Wall" and "Wish you Were Here" in his own DSD format. Gus and Pete are currently working on a new CD of all new original material, expected to be out by the Summer of 09'**************************************************************************
In the fall of 2007 Pete came up with a way to use music and community as a tool to raise money to sustain organizations who offer support for families with childhood illnesses and started the Hike For Cancer Foundation. Hiking the 500 mile long Colorado Trail in the summer of 2008, Pete played 7 shows along the way raising awareness and money for the foundations' 2008 beneficiary, Camp Wapiyapi in Estes Park. In 2009 Hike4Cancer has chosen Boulder based "There With Care" as their beneficiary. There with Care creates circles of support for families facing critical illness. The 2009 hike along the Colorado Trail will be from July 28th - September 9th. Please join Pete on a section.....or the whole thing! "Its an amazing way to give and feels great to do, not to mention spending 7 weeks on one of the most beautiful trails in the world". "I plan on doing this every year, and now after 14 years of playing music professionally, I now have a way to give while doing what I love to do the most"
QUOTES FROM THE PAST:
***************
"It is no stretch to say that Pete's Sunday set at this year's Rhythm and Roots Reunion was one of my favorite sets of the weekend. Pete's bluesy, bluegrassy songwriting represents everything that is right about modern acoustic music. His tunes are rooted in my Appalachian Mountains, grown in his Rocky Mountains, and colored by all the lands hither, yon, and in between."
Dave Stallard/Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion
***************
"The songs of Pete Kartsounes rival the caliber of the great
songwriters of our time and are prolific beyond description"
