Influences FIELDS OF FLOWERS My pack Colorado Trail
Sounds LikePeople seem to have a hard time explaining exactly what kind (genre) of writer/musician I am. I would just say that I am a VERY ECLECTIC singer/songwriter.....w/ everything from Bluegrass to Blues.....and Folk to Funk....with a whole lotta SOUL! Have a look for yourself. This UTUBE is the Wayword Sons playing one of my songs "Immigrants Life" at the Mystic Hot Springs in June of 2007.......and the one below it is the Wayword Sons @ the Boulder Theatre w/ Travis Book (Infamous Stringdusters) sittin' in and singin lead. These UTUBE videos are myself with the Wayword Sons at the Gold Hill Inn on July 4th, 2007 with Billy Nershi (String Cheese Incident) and Jeff Austin (Yonder Mountain String Band) sittin' in on some of the fun. The video below it is the Wayword Sons playing "Pride Of Alabama" at Mulberry Hartvest Festival in September of 2007 (The Wayword Sons last show).

   About Pete Kartsounes
Biography – Pete Kartsounes 2010

As a cutting-edge musician, Pete Kartsounes is fulfilling a vision of writing music with meaning. The songwriter/performer has spent most of his life creating original music that entertains and enlightens. Through the years, his music has evolved to inspire on deeper levels and provide a helping hand to others. Led by his heart and fueled by his soul, Pete is on a quest to make a difference, being captured in his music and celebrated in his life.

At the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Pete writes award-winning songs about love, loss, hope, and adventure. In 2009, he earned his newest award as a first runner-up in Telluride’s prestigious Troubadour Competition. He is a musical craftsman and truly limitless artist whose songwriting draws from a myriad of musical traditions, including blues, jazz, bluegrass, folk, and rock. Writing ballads and compositions, Pete is best described as a story teller, weaving a tale through his music, taking listeners on a soulful journey. His smoky voice is complimented by a soft texture with depth that stretches beyond his years, as he sings with all consuming passion and conviction.

Pete is an energetic performer who has shared the stage with many renowned artists including Jerry Garcia Band, Del McCoury Band, Bill Kreutzmann (Grateful Dead), moe, North Mississippi All-Stars, The Radiators, The Neville Brothers, John McEuen, Leftover Salmon, and Yonder Mountain String Band. In 2000, Pete was chosen to write and record with Dave Kruzin of Pearl Jam, and members of Blues Traveler.

His newest release, Out of Nowhere, is his third and most successful album to date. Gaining national exposure, it is a tasteful blend of original music entwined with acoustic overtones and superb musicianship. The album includes many talented guests, including Grammy Award Winner Sally Van Meter, Drew Emmitt of Leftover Salmon, Travis Book of The Infamous Stringdusters, and Jeff Austin of Yonder Mountain String Band. The recording was done in Direct Stream Digital (DSD) format by “sound wizard” Gus Skinas, who has experience collaborating with many great artists including Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Pink Floyd.

Pete is currently working on a new album, which will capture yet another side of his diverse artistic expression. It will include a fresh and original catalog of songs inspired by his life's journeys. The highly anticipated album is expected to be released by the summer of 2010.

Continuing his mission to make a difference, Pete created a non-profit organization in 2007 called the Hike4Cancer Foundation. Combining his love of music, the outdoors, hiking, and community, his foundation helps sustain organizations that provide support for families with children battling a critical illness. Additionally, Pete volunteers his time each summer to hike the 500-mile Colorado Trail, playing live shows along the way, while raising money and awareness for this important cause.



Pete maintains a busy schedule, touring nationally and internationally, playing nearly 200 shows a year. His powerful live performances are a ‘must see.’ Join him on this great journey of boundless opportunity that is sure to warm your heart and energize your soul.

"The songs of Pete Kartsounes rival the caliber of the great songwriters of our time and are prolific beyond description." --Gus Skinas, Super Audio Center LLC Sonoma Systems
