Pete Olson
"roots, grooves, twang, & tradition..."
A singer, picker, and writer of sweet, often hopeful, sometimes sad, always poetic songs, Pete’s strong, honest voice and fluid guitar style never fail to move his audiences. Pete has played on streetcorners and in coffee houses, roadhouses, churches, living rooms, and concert halls across America and around the world – and shared the spotlight and traded licks with musical greats like Country Joe McDonald, Barry & Holly Tashian, Jimmy Ibbotson of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Rowan Brothers, and many others. Drawing from the diverse and rich traditions of American popular music, his performances swing from country to folk to pop standards to rock; from his own original ballads and love songs to rhythm and blues, all delivered in Pete’s straightforward, easy way...
