About Me

My sound has been influenced by several genres of music. Playing professionally for over 18 years, I've played classic rock, southern rock (Leon Wilkeson!), funk, blues, country, rockabilly, and even cajun and bluegrass (more like new-grass) styles.

Always ready for a jam session - The original songs performed here are just that - home jams that turned into songs. 'The Room' was a compilation between myself and guitarist Eric Ridel back in '91, which was dug out of the cassette archives and converted over to digital. 'The Room Revisited' was inspired by that tune. I brought in some guitar riffs to fill it in, which gives it that 70's style classic rock sound.

Enjoy the tunes and leave a comment if you'd like. All material copyrighted by Peter Jaye.

1992-1993 - Studied bass with Bob Laramie of Paranoise, who was with a local band called Street Temperature (Hartford, CT) at that time.

I have been passed down some pretty serious lesson work!

In guitar mode....

I've been playing a lot more guitar lately, much more than I have in the past five years. Mostly blues/rock stuff...but bass is still my driving point.
