About Pete Molinari
Country blues artist Pete Molinari was born into a large Maltese/ Italian/ Egyptian family in Chatham, Kent, where he was discovered by Billy Childish. Pete toured USA for two years with a head full of songs and his trusty guitar. On returning home Billy Childish suggested recording his first album. It was recorded in a day in Billy’s kitchen live on an old Revox tape machine. He has just finished recording his new album with producer Liam Watson at Toe Rag Studios, and it showcases Pete’s remarkable falsetto: you’ll hear shades of Woody Guthrie, Jimmy Scott, Bob Dylan and Patsy Cline in a voice and a poetry that is entirely Molinari’s own.
Pete was nominated for a MOJO breakthrough award at their awards for 2008, with “A Virtual Landslide” listed in their top 50 albums of the year. April 2009 saw Pete release his first new recordings since his breakthrough second album. A four track EP was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee at Playground Sound Studios and features four of his live favorites – covers of ’Today, Tomorrow and Forever’, ‘Satisfied Mind’, ‘Guilty’ and ‘Tennessee Waltz’ – all backed up by the extraordinary vocal talents Of The Georgettes and the legendary Jordanaires! Pete’s new album ‘A Train Bound For Glory’ is now out now and climbing the Indie charts. The album features contributions from classics such as The Jordanaires, Chris Scruggs and The McCrary Sisters.
