MUSIC - SUNDAY MORNING LIVE - AUGUST 16TH. - NORTH OF BOSTON

Pete Schoonmaker has been playing guitar in one format or another for more than 30 years. His Mother wanted him to learn the piano but he stood fast and wouldn't play anything but the guitar.
“I find that's the type of music that really speaks to my musical soul". said Pete. He plays finger- style on 6 and 12-string guitars; set list are usually split evenly between songs and instrumentals.
His repertoire runs from 60's folk-revival back to 19th and 20th century Appalachian and hymn tunes, then up to contemporary singer/songwriter music, including songs of his own. A seasoned performer, Pete plays a variety of venues, from bars ( including the easternmost pub and the easternmost tavern in the United States, both of which are in Lubec, Maine about 100 feet from each other ) to coffeehouses, church services, gospel sings, folk festivals, to anywhere else where acoustic music is appreciated.
A member of a gospel/roots music trio called Green Pastures for many years, Pete has recorded on three CD's with various band members..
" Music is an extremely important part of my life, and there are very few places I would rather be than in front of an appreciative audience".
