Your name:
Pete Allan
Where are you from?
Noosa Heads, Queensland,
Australia.
Who is in your backing
band?
A lot of the people I play
with are in multiple bands, so it really depends on who's available for a
particular show. I'm just really lucky that in my area of the world there are
so many great musicians who can help out!
How would you describe
yourself musically?
I'm not a "genre"
fan because everyone is unique, but I'd say it's a mix of surf rock, roots,
blues, live looping, and beatbox rhythms delivered in a singer-songwriter
style. Music that can make you dance, and at the same time have you thinking
about the message within the song.
Who are your main
influences musical or otherwise?
Bob Dylan, Lennon, Paul
Kelly, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, John Butler, Dallas Green are just a few.
What do you hope to
achieve in music?
Music is how I share my
story, or issues I want to talk about, so I'm always grateful to be able to do
this. I just want opportunities to continue to do this through live performance
and music I release, for as long as I'm able.
What has been the
highlight of your career so far, and why?
Big crowds always leave an
impression, but it's when a lady came up to me while I played at a market one
day, tears streaming down from behind her sunglasses, and told me that a song I
had just played had really touched her, because it related to her life at that
moment. It's those one on one moments that make it for me, as much as a big
crowd would.
And what’s the moment you
want to forget?
I haven't had one yet
thankfully.
If you had to pick just
one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
I recently released Treading
Water as a taste of the new EP coming soon. It's a funky tune, but still shares
a message within, and that's what I'm all about with my music.
Where can we listen to
it?
Where can we find out more
about your music?
Anything else you’d like
to say about your band/music that I forgot to ask?
I'd like to thank every
person who supports original music, by coming to shows, purchasing music and
mercy, and referring me to friends, it's you who make the all possible! Stay
tuned for the new EP coming really soon!
