Pete Kronowitt
If Steve Earle drank beers with Elvis Costello and got pissed enough to write political tunes, they would sound like Pete Kronowitt songs. Soulful. Pointed. Poignant. Playful. 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. Pete has received critical acclaim, been nominated for songwriting by Folk Alliance International and honors from the Mid Atlantic Songwriter Contest. Five albums combining performing, touring and activism, Pete’s songs lie at the juncture where culture clash with politics. Pete’s album, Do Something Now, was released in September 2020. His fourth album, 'A Lone Voice,' re-imagined the protest song and, released in 2016 during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, was recorded and produced in Nashville by Grammy-winning songwriter Phil Madeira. Kronowitt’s freshman project, "Phases of the Heart," recorded in 1993, was produced by three-time Grammy-nominated John Alagia, of Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, and Ben Folds Five fame, while his second and third albums, “Threads,” and 'elements' were produced by Pete Snell, who toured extensively with Lyle Lovett.
