Songs Illuminated Series: Pete Jive

When Pete Jive sings, charisma glides out of him and hugs you. Jive’s gyrating, crazy legs maneuvers, turn-on-a-dime leaving two nickels syncopated rhythms, and punchy lyrics will heart-imprint you. A Pete Jive performance is an all-in, no one left seated affair, where Jive locks eyes, ears, legs, voice, fingers, and rapt attention around his audience. You don’t hear a Pete Jive set; you and Pete live through it, together—that’s the attuned intimacy Pete delivers to audience.  His latest release, “Demons, Dark Sides and Downtime” is a beautiful indie folk rock record that is filled with great stories, melodies and lots of heart.
