Pete Eastmure

PETE EASTMURE is an Ontario-based country folk artist who often sings with his wife Eva Marie on harmonies and light percussion. Their unique sound is characterized by acoustic layered guitar and sometimes electric Gretsch White Falcon guitar, as well as on Albums, moody pedal steel guitar and mandolins. The song writing draws heavily from traditional Americana folk and country music, bringing to mind Gordon Lightfoot, Elizabeth Cotton and borrowing liberally from Hank Williams and The Drifting Cowboys. The lyrics speak eloquently about the great cinema graphic life of small-town Canada and the dreams and inspirations of those folks who live there. Pete grew up on a horse farm on the side of the Blue Mountains Ontario, before leaving at an early age and hitchhiking to California.
