Uncle Pete’s Yard Sale is a grab bag, a forgotten and beloved toy, an old comfy sweater, pictures of old friends, a random stop that reacquaints you with treasures you may have lost, a jumble of songs and music played brand new. They look for hidden gems, lost diamonds, forgotten rubies, music that asks only for another chance at life. They are a sextet who enjoy changing things around and changing the narrative. The band loves to explore the rapture of classic tunes, songs, in the way of the Jam, the Good Ole Grateful sound, the echos of the jazz forefathers, the timbre of their progressive mothers, and the urgency of full tilt rock and roll. Come see them, hear an old friend reincarnated.
