**************************************************
Representative Quote: "I march to the beat of a different drummer, and
that different drummer's name is Pete Serge."

a CD in 2001 entitled, "I Hope You're Cryin'." Enjoys live performing and songwriting. Also: hiking, reading,
flea markets, progressive poetry readings, & designing gig posters.....plus: schlock/horror/obscure 'B'
movies.....
Self-released 2nd CD, "Ripple Effect", on October 18, 2003.
Other performers and music column writers have tagged Pete with such interesting nicknames
as: "The Angry Cowboy of Alternative Country", "The Ambassador of Anger", "The
Sultan of Social Alienation" - and most recently - "The Working Class Freethinker", due to his
blunt lyrics and intense performing style.
However, Pete is happy to report that he really hasn't been all that angry lately!
