Sweet Pete

About this event

Sweet Pete is a consummate rock & roll showman whose music calls to mind the frenetic pub rock boogie & clever songwriting of Nick Lowe, the less-is-more garage madness of The Trashmen, and the studied melodicism of Dave Edmunds, all tied by an undeniable knack for writing a hook you can hang your coat on. Just outside of Philadelphia along the banks of the Delaware River, Sweet Pete continues to hone his craft both on record and on the stage. After a decade leading CT garage rock quartet Jacques Le Coque, Sweet Pete kicked off his solo run with Say Hello in 2021, a record that paired it’s pompadour power pop sensibility with a stylistically eclectic palate of riotous rock & roll. Recorded with Collin J. Rocker (OLD LADY) and Trevor Lake (Televisionaries), and featuring a guest spot from NYC’s own rock & roll guru Jonathan Toubin, it quickly found its way onto the airwaves at WFMU, KEXP, and WPKN. 2022 brought his I Wanna Be A Piggy 7”, tipping a hat to The Coasters and NYC cult favorites The Piggies, while throwing a lavish homespun take on The Kinks’ “Animal Farm” on the B-side. He’s shared stages with Wreckless Eric, Greg Cartwright, The Out-Sect, Bloodshot Bill & Daddy Long Legs and his 2nd full length album Three Ring (2025, Nudie Records) is backed by his lethal outfit - Tiger Ford Cabus, Raeli Rose, & Dan Thomas - of State College, PA’s Ma’aM. Stick around, the show’s just getting started.
