About Me

Pete is a songwriter, guitarist, and singer. He is also a very capable recording engineer and producer. For many years he has been the guitarist/vocalist for garage/pop legends The Infidels and is currently playing guitar with The Deadbeat Poets, who in March of 2008 appeared at SXSW in Austin and are playing dates all over the U.S. and Europe this year.
Currently, he is working on his next solo record with his band, The Pretty Demons. This music will be featured on this page.
In addition to collecting guitars and working on his pedal steel playing, Pete currently received endorsement deals with Eastwood Guitars and Phantom Guitars. Both of these companies make fantastic guitars that he is in love with. He is now using these guitars in the studio and on stage.
Pete would like to thank his good friend Chris Leonardi for helping, playing, inspiring, and making him laugh during the recording process! Without Chris, this record would take much, much longer to finish.
The Pretty Demons (studio edition) are:
Pete Drivere: Vocals and Guitar, Denny Kocholek:Drums, Chris Leonardi:Piano,Hammond B3 organ,Bass,Drums,Guitar,Vocals, Aleisa Drivere:Bass, Marc Miles:Electric and Acoustic Guitar, Zach Miller:Fiddle, Kristina Pokapotz:Vocals. You've been marked on my visitor map! Click to zoom in.

Making Good

You should always try to patch up old rifts the best you can with those people that have fallen out with you. Your luck and their luck won't last forever.
