Here's a video from Lee's in Minneapolis, February 2007:
Pete McCauley has been playing guitar for 22 years now, and there's no end in sight. His roots are in Western Massachusetts, where he played with the group Baba Yaga, who recently had a reunion at Pete's wedding in Whately, Massachusetts. (Pete's wife thought that was the best way to avoid having to pay a band.) It was pretty impressive, considering they had not played as a group in 14 years. In the early 90's, he was to be found busking on the cobbled streets of various European towns and playing in coffee shops and pubs, honing his skills and gathering material for a string of hard luck love songs. He has lived in the Twin Cities for twelve years now, working with numerous talented musicians in diverse projects.
Here's Snackbox live at Dixie's in April of 2007:
Pete was a founding member and the original guitarist for Eddie Mac , with whom he spent a few years traveling the country, earning a record contract with SPV records in Germany. They produced two full-length albums for independent record label Mud Hut Productions and in 2001 won the WAMI award for best pop single ("We Brake for Hotties"). He currently plays with Snackbox and occasionally with the Eddie Mac boys, as well as with Leslie Rich and other groups around the Twin Cities.
The past few years have seen the addition of four guitars, a house, and the wife who came with the house. He is currently working on tracks for a solo acoustic project with Nick of Jack Ruby as well as working with Snackbox on a demo of new songs with the help of MJ from The Skullcranes . His latest quest includes building organizational furniture out of recycled lumber and discovering how to write happy songs.
Recently I was in a TV commercial for Kaplan College shot by my friends at Dreamworld Studios:
Even more recently, I was in a goofy spot that Dreamworld Studios did as a contest entry for Grain Belt Premium Beer called "Happy Grain Belt Day". Turns out - we won!!!
