Pete Molinari is fast establishing himself as one of the UK’s most exciting musical talents.

Born into a large Maltese, Italian and Egyptian family in Kent, the young musician became fascinated with the 1960’s folk of Lead Belly, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie. After reading the beat writings of Jack Kerouac, Pete set off for New York where he honed his craft in the blues clubs of the East Village.

Then he traveled to Memphis, New Orleans, San Francisco and Los Angeles when he could, before returning home to record his debut album “Walking Off The Map” with the help of Billy Childish.

While recording his follow up album, “A Virtual Landslide” at Toe Rag Studios in London, Pete began working with producer Liam Watson, invigorating his sound with a full band, thus uniquely modernizing a historic sound.

His previous work, the critically acclaimed “A Train Bound For Glory,” earned Pete an appearance on BBC’s Later With Jools Holland and a nomination for Best Newcomer at the MOJO Awards.

Pete completed his fourth album “Theosophy” in early 2014, recording most of the original album tracks with Jim and Rob Homes at Humbug Studios on the Isle Of Wight, then adding the talents of producer Liam Watson, acclaimed DJ/re-mixer Andrew Weatherall, Grammy award-winning producer/mixer Tchad Blake and guest musicians Dan Auerbach and Barrie Cadogan to the process.
