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 today’s music scene.
As a former member of the Wayword Sons "featuring Benny Galloway" (writer behind the songs of
Yonder Mountain String Band), Pete’s new focus is playing festivals and "listening" venues nationwide
as a soloist and with the Pete Kartsounes Band. The band consists of an amazing group of some of
Boulder’s finest musicians.
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 soulful lyrics.
Referred to as a "must see", "truly one of a kind", and "as original as he is diverse" from critics, he is
rapidly becoming one of the reknowned songwriters of today.
