8/23/2019 The Pietasters (Ska) In 1990, a bunch of friends started a band with no pretensions: the idea was to make music for house parties, not to make a career out of music. These guys and a girl grew up in and around Washington, D.C. The scene was small and all the Punks, Skins, and Mods intermixed in those days. You were as likely to see a Mod at a Scream show as you were to see a Punk at a Toasters show. This varied influence is what informed the covers that the Pietasters played and the originals they wrote trying to emulate their favorite bands Royal Lake Park: 5344 Gainsborough Drive, Fairfax, VA 22032 FREE 7:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. 703-324-SHOW (7469) www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/performances

He has the stories, the licks, and the mystery of timeless music in his fingers. He’s been featured on a PBS special and interviewed by Terry Gross on “Fresh Air.” He’s also a regular at Fur Peace Ranch, where he teaches along with Jorma Kaukonen.
