Pete Krebs - Solo Singer/Guitarist
Pete Krebs has been a member of the Portland, Oregon musical community since 1988. His notable bands have included Hazel, Golden Delicious, The Kung Pao Chickens, Django’s Tigers, The Stolen Sweets, The Portland Playboys and Thee Catnip Brothers, exploring genres as diverse as punk rock, bluegrass, gypsy jazz, retro swing and traditional country.
Pete most often appears in bands, but also performs gigs playing solo guitar/vocal sets. He performs a mix of his personal favorites, including traditional cowboy tunes, Western swing, vintage crooner fare, gypsy jazz, folk and honky tonk. Pete sometimes weaves some of his original compositions into sets as well when people aren’t looking.
Pete’s discography contains dozens of releases on a variety of labels including Cavity Search, Rough Trade and Sub Pop. He has toured extensively both domestically and abroad, sharing the stage with a diverse mix of musicians including Nirvana, Elliott Smith, Dead Moon, Peter Rowan, Patrick Saussois, The Hot Club of Cowtown, Sleater-Kinney and hundreds of others.
He has performed at Lollapalooza, The Portland Jazz Festival, CMJ, Pickathon, Bumbershoot, and SXSW, and at venues large and small including Preservation Hall, CBGB’s, TheTroubadour and The Knitting Factory.
Pete is also a two-time inductee into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame (for both his band Hazel and his solo work), and a double cancer survivor.
