Sunday, August 27, 2023 Entertainment: Petey Hop

The original material that Pete writes is eclectic to say the least, running the gamut from straight ahead Rock & Roll, Americana, Electric and Acoustic Blues, Country, Singer-songwriter, Alternative, and other influences.

In addition to being an accomplished singer/frontman, Pete is a sought after sideman. Mitch Woods regularly calls him to be one of his East Coast Rocket 88’s, even taking him to Greece for a two week residency at the Half Note Jazz club in Athens in ‘08-’09. With Mitch, Pete has played The Rhythm and Roots festival, The Michael Arnone Crawfish Festival, The Chenango Blues festival. Pete was lucky enough to share the stage once with one of his idols, Hubert Sumlin, and twice w/ Pinetop Perkins.

Pete and The Wallbangers have been featured on; WPDH, Pete solo on WDST’s “Blues Break”, WVKR, and The Listening Room and w/the Wildcards on WPKN’s “Antique Blues”.

With one original R&R album to his credit, “Stepping Stone” for sale through iTunes, as well as other tracks, Pete has lots more music still to come.
