Pete Rivers

Pete Rivers........His musical background was shaped by his Mam.....Her love of Patsy Cline, Hank Williams ,Jim Reeves, The Browns , Skeeter Davis, melted with the raw vibrancy of Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison & Johnny Cash......created an artist who has never been afraid to explore & expand on his influences.......hence the song "Presley Orbison & Cash" .......Pete's first public performance came on top of a shed in his parents house in Mullingar.........armed with a guitar with 3 strings.....none of which were tuned he performed "Rhinestone Cowboy" ........much to the dismay of his jaw dropping neighbours....they loved it......Here today is an artist who has over half a million song plays on reverbnation/myspace........A million youtube hits for his original songs.........Number 1 UK artist on reverbnation........Number 1 Country Music Artist in the world on myspace.........and a guy who continues always to describe his songs as humble...............
