Following in the footsteps of folk singers advocating to better humanity, Pete has organized, marched and sang his way across this land. Pete writes songs with hooks, a dash of alt-country, a smidgen of something familiar yet new; catchy songs ranging from acoustic alternative pop and country to Indie with progressive lyrical phrasing. Five albums combining performing, touring and activism, Pete’s songs lie at the juncture where culture, humanity and a bit of fun meet for a drink at the local pub. www.petekronowittmusic.competekronowitt.bandcamp.com‍ ‍
