The music of Pete Kosky . . .
An award-winning singer-songwriter-storyteller, his voice has been described as "crushed velvet, with accents of dusty burlap."
Though no one in Pete's immediate family was a musician, growing up in West Virginia exposed Pete to traditional music at an early age. He was naturally drawn to music, and became especially fascinated with old songs and ballads. He set out to learn as many of the old songs as he could, and eventually began to write his own songs using the traditional music as a template. In West Virginia, traditional music is still "living music." Pete's songs are a part of this living tradition.
