Pete Goslow Classical Guitarist from Los Angeles, CA

Pete Goslow is a professional classical guitarist, solo singer songwriter, band leader and recording artist. As a soloist he has been performing for the past 20 years at some of the finest and prestigious locations in California. Besides performing for thousands of weddings, private parties and corporate events, he is actively pursuing his ultimate goal of becoming a mainstream composer and recording artist. Live performances as well as recordings of his original songs have been broadcast on TV and radio. He has also appeared on “Daybreak OC” KDOC Live T.V. morning show as their featured music guest. Recent highlight performances include: presidential, state senator and governor receptions and parties, major award shows, private celebrity parties (recently hired by Michael Eisner and his lovely wife Jane to perform privately at their home in Bel Air), as well as warming up for such pop artists as Lisa Loeb and Olivia Newton John. On numerous occasions he has performed during private dinners prepared personally by Chef Wolfgang Puck who jokingly refers to Pete as “guitar guy”! This baseball season he will be performing our Nation Anthem at Anaheim Stadium for the Los Angles Angels (date TBD). Pete received his bachelor of performance degree in classical guitar from Chapman University College of Performing Arts chapman.edu/music/ in 1993. During his classical training, he was a member of the highly acclaimed Chapman University Guitar Quartet, who released a CD and toured throughout the Western United States. He has performed classical guitar in master classes for world-renowned artists such as Manual Barrueco, Carlos Barbosa-Lima, and David Russell. Chapman University is also known for its vocal program - which he took full advantage by studying voice with some of the top vocal teachers in North America. Upon graduating from Chapman, he moved to Los Angeles and began singing and playing full time. He recorded and release his well received first solo classical guitar CD “Love’s Passion” in 2000. His anticipated Singer Songwriter album “Leave It All Behind” was release this winter. This CD, compiled of eleven original compositions, is a virtual showcase of Pete’s vocal and instrumental talents to be followed by a national tour. His lyrics are influenced by growing up in the spectacular mountains of Northern Arizona. Through his love of surfing, his songs also express paramount concerns facing the well being of our oceans and beaches. Besides his now famous reputation in Southern California as “The Wedding Singer” - all joking aside, Pete is considered to be an up and coming mainstream singer songwriter with an edgy classical, virtuosic approach to the guitar. Goslow’s original sound can be identified as a head on collision with Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Cat Stevens and Dave Matthews. As a singer songwriter, Pete was influenced as a child by folk legends of the seventies, “his fathers music”. As a teenager his love for progressive rock inspired him to take the job as lead singer of his high school rock band “Vital Signs” (there were concert videos: plenty of embarrassing “Behind the Music” material). “I enjoy the living I have carved out for myself as a full time working class musician and never take one single job for granted. I feel truly blessed and take great pride in every wedding or corporate function I play. Over the years, many of my clients have become close friends and loyal fans. Meeting and working with so many different and diverse couples, families, planners and vendors helps make every performance experience special in its own unique way - I truly love my job!”
