About Me

I'm an independent musician who just loves to play guitar, sing and write songs. I have a wicked sense of humor, I Love Jack Daniels on ice, good green and staying out making music all night. I'm into meeting other people who enjoy the same thing. I'm a fulltime, working musician. I love many types of music, I'll listen to anything once, things I like, I'm tryin' twice. In the immortal words of the great Duke Ellington, "There's only 2 kinds of music, good and bad". So support an independent musician, come see a show and buy some of my lovely, mucho fabuloso tunes. You can check out my website for more info. www.peteyhop.com
