About Anne and Pete
Anne and Pete love to get right to the heart of their audience. For
the husband and wife duo (based in Jackson, Wyoming) it is about the
vocals, the words, the harmonies. Accompanied on guitar and banjo
theirs is a traditional yet original sound. They were first inspired
by duet performers like Tim & Mollie O'Brien, and Gillian Welch &
David Rawlins and began performing at a local Hootenanny. Since that
time, Anne writes many of their songs and Pete's melodic clawhammer
banjo has been added to their sound. But, they still cherish the
simple sound of two voices.
They have been singing together since they met in their high school
choir and since 2003 they've been performing a blend of original folk,
bluegrass, old-timey and traditional songs. During 2005 they spent
the year introducing their music at festivals in the Rocky Mountains
like the Grand Targhee Bluegrass Festival, performing sold-out shows,
opening for Willie Nelson and as in-studio guests on community radio
stations; all this within their first two years of performing. In
early 2006 the couple performed at the Mid-Winter Bluegrass Festival
in Denver, Colorado. They are grateful for the opportunity to share
their original and traditional music.
