Born the son of an American G.I. stationed in Great Britain, Pete Alderton's a superb, focused Bluesman who not only writes great lyrics but delivers them with authentic passion - and his diction is first-rate, too. His style effortlessly incorporates elements of R&B, soul and pop, all with a respectful nod in the direction of the Blues. He plays excellent acoustic guitar, and you can tell by his seemingly world-weary approach that he's done his time on the road.

The concept of Pete Alderton includes Singer Songwriting, Blues plus his own compositions, he also makes tributes to Blues legends the likes of Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, Son House to name just a few. Images of cotton fields in Mississippi or the atmosphere in Chicago clubs and Juke Joints emerge.

Soaked in the roots of British blues and enriched with its American and African counterparts, Pete Alderton virtually plays himself into intoxication. He sings brilliantly but simply, loves accompanying himself by himself, but is also great with a band. With Pete Alderton the blues gets a new voice and a different colour: indescribably bright.
