Pete Bruntnell Band

Event Information

If you don't know Pete, you should just look at the cover photo for reviews of his latest album. He has another band with his mate Robbie McIntosh, called Cuzuns and was considered for the Rolling Stones when Mick Taylor left.
Drifting somewhere between cosmic folk, sun-faded Americana and defiant country soul, Peter Bruntnell remains one of England’s most spellbinding musical outlaws. Nearly 30 years deep, he still walks his own road—Byrds-tinged melodies, desert-dust lyrics, and songs that glow long after the lights go down. Rolling Stone called him “one of England’s best kept musical secrets,” while Americana UK placed him in the Top 20 Americana Artists of All Time—yet Bruntnell keeps choosing magic over markets. His 2024 album Houdini And The Sucker Punch shimmers with pedal steel, harmony haze and hard-earned truth, backed by long-time comrades Mick Clews, Dave Little and Peter Noone, with kindred spirits Eric Heywood, Jay Farrar, James Walbourne and Mark Spencer adding stardust. Mojo says he deserves wider recognition; the Scottish Daily Express snaps, “He’s brilliant.” This is underground Americana with a hippie heart, a rebel streak, and the quiet confidence of an artist who knows exactly who he is—and wouldn’t change a step.
