The Peasants/Pete Cassani

About Me

The Peasants are fronted by singer/guitarist Pete Cassani. He has been playing the streets, subways, clubs and coffeehouses of the world for 20 years. Pete and The Peasants have been on over 250 College Radio Stations, 15 US tours, 8 European tours and hundreds of New England Appearances.
They have opened for such notable acts as Aerosmith, The White Stripes and The Stray Cats. Their songs have appeared on MTV, VH-1, The Shield (Cable TV) show, Girls Gone Wild, Behind The Music and many, many other Cable shows too numerous to list. During the summer months they do street concerts in Harvard Square, Cambridge.
Love Your Enemy is the third Peasant record to date. It opens with the stolen election of 2000 by George W Bush and carries into the illegal invasion of Iraq. Styles include Punk, Hard Rock, Pop, Folk and Swing. Love, Politics, Spiritual themes and Sex are addressed. Pick up any Peasant CD and you'll wear it thin. Guaranteed or your money back.
The Peasants completed a NINE WEEK Tour of Germany, Holland and Austria in Fall 2007. Back in the USA working on new material, The Peasants hope to return to Europe in Fall 2008.
