They say a word to the wise is sufficient
Quit beatin’ your head on a wall
Start livin’ the life you envision
A word to the wise says it all

A Word to the Wise (Pete Merrigan)

Pete has regularly entertained crowds from the Caribbean Islands and the beaches of Florida to the ski resorts of New England, playing and singing the songs he and his audiences love to hear. It’s easy to see that he truly enjoys what he does, and that creates a good feeling anywhere he plays.

That goes for behind the scenes, too. Highly accomplished fellow musicians describe him as the best front man they’ve ever worked with: a consummate performer whose funky, offbeat sense of humor complements an innate sense of theatrics, unlimited energy, a strong voice and the ability to portray a song, rather than just deliver it.

From the high school stages where he started out, Pete’s natural ability to entertain and amuse an audience, plus his love of singing and performance, have led him to concert halls, smoke-filled barrooms, festivals, opera houses, radio shows and most every other venue. He’s traveled over half a million miles to play thousands of shows across 19 states and three countries.

Six albums chronicle his original songs, including Simpler Times, Sweet Romance, Tragic Hero, and Eye of the Devil (which Steven Tyler of Aerosmith calls “A great song!”).

Solo albums areThe Eyes of a ChildState of GraceThe Last Resort, and A New Day…with old friends. Two with his Mad Beach Band are the incredible live recording A Night at the Opera and the new studio album, A Good Long Ride
