Singer, songwriter , guitarist born on the west coast of South Australia at a place called Cleve. He moved to Adelaide at age five when his family gave up farming for a life in the city.

"I began playing guitar at age 11 and by 14 was sitting in with my brothers country band doing the rock n roll set. I have played in all sorts of bands from hard rock to country with top 40 pop and blues along the way. I've done gigs all over Australia and elsewhere, from Tom Price to Tipperary Ireland (its a long way), with nobodies and somebodies, stars and wannabies . As a guitarist I have worked with and for performers such as Angry Anderson and Graham Bonnet and have done many recording sessions for other artists and radio stations. I was even a "Long live the lead break" finalist once."

These days Pete performs with his band and as a soloist playing a selection of rocking country music covering artists such as Keith Urban, Alan Jackson, Dwight Yoakam, Brad Paisley, Dixie Chicks, Lee Kernaghan, Adam Brand and more including a few original tunes.

Recent performance highlights include Clipsal 500 , 2005, opening for Lee Kernaghan and a trip to France to do a show for a large wine company with band "Acoustic Juice".
