Delaware River Rock & Roll Double Header!
SWEET PETE
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 Helloin 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 is backed by his lethal live outfit - Tiger Ford Cabus, Raeli Rose, & Dan Thomas - of State College, PA's Ma'aM.
Sweet Pete’s 2nd full length album Three Ring is out now on Nudie Records. Stick around, the show’s just getting started.
OLD LADY
Old Lady is a honky-tonk rock & roll outfit from the Garden State. Their trio of songwriters-Collin J Rocker, Isaac Candelario, and Kailey Rocker-blossom out of a decade plus as one of the Northeast’s hardest working bands. Balancing a provocative and loose burn of an all night bender, with a sobering morning-after clarity and insight, their well tempered brand is the kind that leaves a mark. Backed by dynamic bassist Joe E. Nester and the sonic swirl of producer/organist Hunter Davidsohn, Old Lady offers a moving, well studied and essential spin on Americana.
