Pete Gioconda

PETE GIOCONDA’s songs are notable for their unique sound fused from new wave, pop and folk/rock influences, mingling poetic lyrics with a punk attitude and playful unpretentiousness. Youthful songs of mischief, desire, loss and sadness, plus transcendent perceptions . . . “Gutsy folk/rock with a nod to Marriott/Dylan and Ray Davies.” Pete Gioconda grew up on a small island. After studying in London, he began to write poems and explore his surroundings – hitching round Britain several times, including the Outer Hebrides and Orkneys, “heavenly with a girl”, and the south and west of Ireland.
