Pete Morton

Certain writers and singers of folk songs have that combination of lyrical perspicacity and clear-sighted delivery that set them apart from all others, and the idiosyncratic Pete Morton is one of those. At first, you might think Petes songs are childlike, but he makes you hesitate before saying Its NOT THAT SIMPLE! (sometimes, yes it is that simple.) His songs provoke thought, stimulate inspiration and prompt revelation. He delivers messages and explores themes that everyone can relate to and does it in a way that demands nothing more than turning your ear to his perfectly placed lyrics. He has a wealth of great songs and a remarkable singing voice. A compelling and energetic performer with roots in Punk, Petes songs have been described as an unruly mix of humour, politics, love and social comment always well-grounded in folk tradition. Songs like Another Train have become folk club standards and his performances are a joy. Its been too long since Petes last visit to the U.S; we are delighted to welcome him back!
