Welcome
"As a kid I was given two books that made as big an impression on me as anything could. They were by Woody Guthrie and Jack Kerouac, and along with the songs and music that were later handed down to me, they helped convince me that my life should and would be some kind of journey on the road that some call 'bound for glory' and others 'the road less travelled by'."
When Bruce Springsteen was asked by Edward Norton during his interview at the Toronto Film Festival about what music he was listening to these days his reply was simple and direct: "Pete Molinari - and if you don't know anything about him, he's great".
Praise indeed, but in many ways hardly surprising. The Boss is well known for keeping his ear to the ground when it comes to new sounds and considering Pete's nomination as Best Newcomer at UK rock magazine's Mojo Awards, his appearance on BBC's Later With Jools Holland and the critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic (a recent residency in LA was a huge success) for latest album A Train Bound For Glory it was never going to be too long before the man from New Jersey clocked the boy from Chatham.
If you haven't done so yourself, give him a try. You'll be in good company.
