Pistol Pete & The Contract Killers

About Me

Miles Bosworth moved to Nashville in July of 2007 after his previous band Now or Never in Buffalo, NY parted ways. Before they did, Now or Never played shows all around the Western New York area in clubs and at college campuses. Some of the venues included SUNY Buffalo and SUNY Geneseo, Hilbert College, the Tralfamador Café and The Town Ballroom. In addition to playing shows for a variety of audiences throughout the area, NON achieved commercial radio airplay on Buffalo’s 97 Rock and Rock Radio 103.3 The Edge. Miles and Now or Never made a name for themselves by playing the loudest brand of Piano Rock in the industry and by putting on a show renowned as much for its high energy as for its memorable songs. Miles has recently teamed up with Dave Altier from the Whiskey Drifters- an Akron, Ohio based band with an equally impressive track record. The Whiskey Drifters played with bands like Buckcherry and Velvet Revolver, achieved commercial radio airplay and acquired corporate sponsorships.The band has also recruited guitarist Richard Thompson. Richard is from Memphis, Tennessee and is influenced mostly by blues and classic rock n' roll. With a newly completed lineup, Pistol Pete & The Contract Killers is ready to put on a brand new show!!

Part II

You look beyond the gorge.Like a treacherous monster, the barren landscape stares right back at you.Vast and unafraid, it patiently waits- eager for the chance to break you. Even if you make it across...

Part III

You made it across.You take a breath.You close your eyes and do your best to not look down.You take your free hand and find a sturdy rock to grab onto. The first rock begins to move and your hand slip...
