Pete Molinari

A Uk singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Pete Molinari pulls on the spirits of Woody Guthrie, Business lead Stomach, and Phil Ochs as well as the nature of the fantastic folk revival from the 1960s for his motivation, and by seeking to and pulling on this music history, he manages to route it right into a fresh but still reverent modern audio. Born right into a huge Maltese/Italian/Egyptian family members in Chatham, Kent, Molinari dropped early beneath the spell of his old brothers’ record choices, and was raised fascinated with the music of John Coltrane, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Jimmy Scott, Lead Stomach, Hank Williams, Billie Vacation, among others from a bygone period. After reading Guthrie’s Bound for Glory and Jack port Kerouac’s On the highway, he was influenced to set away for NEW YORK and spent a year or two playing and honing his carrying out skills within the famous folk and blues night clubs there, also locating time to check out Memphis, New Orleans, SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, and LA before time for Chatham, where he documented his debut recording, 2006’s Walking From the Map, on a vintage Revox tape machine in his friend Billy Childish’s kitchen. For the follow-up, 2008’s A Virtual Landslide, Molinari caused maker Liam Watson at Feet Rag Studios, as well as the recording included some paths with a complete band along with a throwback audio which was still somehow refreshing and modern even while it recommended echoes from another period. Molinari built even more momentum on 2010’s A Teach Bound for Glory, an archive that underscored his folk origins and gained several accolades within the U.K., including a nomination for Greatest Newcomer at that year’s Mojo Honours. He continued to create close friends in high locations — he sang with Yoko Ono in the 2013 Meltdown Festival and gained compliment from Bruce Springsteen and Ray Davies — plus some of those music artists surfaced on 2014’s Theosophy: Andrew Weatherall, the famous DJ, added, as did Dark Crucial Dan Auerbach, alongside makers Tchad Blake and Liam Watson. Theosophy made an appearance in the summertime of 2014.
