Big House Pete, a Pittsburgh PA trio, is comprised of three musicians who are influenced by many styles of music. The one common denominator among them is their ability to laugh and you can see this through the humor in their songs. Paul Peterson is an amazing guitarist and songwriter. Mark Hensel keeps the bottom going with his great bass playing and backing vocals. The man who keeps the rhythm on drums is the talented Jon Maier. Each member has experience in studio recording and live concerts and when they formed Big House Pete, a special chemistry immediately happened. They have played venues from New York City's CBGBs and Trash Bar to Nashville's Blue Bird Cafe, all up and down the East Coast and Los Angeles. They have entertained thousands at Bike Weeks in Mytrle Beach, Ohio and Sturgis.
