Pete Schmidt

Ok here’s the deal… You might be wondering what all these new songs are… Well over the past 3 years I have been recording rough versions of songs on my Laptop. They’re very raw and organic sounding. Most of them are inspired by other artist or written about situation that I have come across in my journey as a singer songwriter. All production and recording was done on my own in my bedroom using Garage band. Check it out. I put a chat box under here if you would like to talk about it..
Cheers, Pete

Pete Schmidt Biography
A heartfelt singer-songwriter poised to maintain an element of rock-n-roll flair in his music, Pete Schmidt continues to soar as a prominent acoustic rocker.
Raised in Alpharetta, Georgia, he developed a fascination for music at the age of 14. But it was only through endless experimentation that the 23-year-old honed his skills as an intricately harmonious guitar player. Nowadays, Schmidt develops his golfing skills when hes not taking center stage touring across the country.
Schmidts recent full-length debut No Safe Bet has garnered attention nationwide due to its alluring rhythms and sincere lyrics. Paired with his distinctly passionate voice, Schmidt is able to exude emotion throughout the album, which features the intensity expected from a singer-songwriter with the pop-rock sensibility to launch label-worthy success.
His honest songwriting comes from the heart, as can be felt from the electrically-charged song, All of Us to the romantically-apologetic track, Make It Up to You. "Graduation" was remastered from his 2001 EP On Your Way to Fly, and features an alternative rock-based background that keeps the tune smooth while Schmidt experiments with his diversely-ranged voice.
Being a songwriter, I tend to evolve more than change. Im always going to keep that certain uniqueness about myself, and all Ive really done is mature with it, says Schmidt. I find myself learning very cool and different things as time goes on and I guess I try to incorporate that into my style.
Schmidt has shared the stage with national acts including Jason Mraz, Everclear, David Gray and Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket). In addition, Pete was invited by Atlantas Star 94 to open for Norah Jones. Industry ears are perking up to hear Schmidts rootsy, soulful songs as he prepares to play alongside Gavin DeGraw.
With significant touring and the power of word-of-mouth, Schmidt has established himself as a noteworthy artist in the acoustic rock scene, while maintaining an extensive underground following. CURB Magazine recently declared that he is quickly gaining a reputation as an artist to watch, while Smother.net pegged his style as the WB sound.
He has already established dedicated fans across the country, whose support helped launch his albums to top slots at Awarestore.com. His music is currently available on iTunes.
