Listenting to his latest EP, I found myself craving for more and maybe that’s the unintended consequence for a fan on releasing an EP with an album in the wings. Pete assembled a fine group of musicians who played on the EP, including Joe Leone, Delaney Hafener and Nick Balzano.ĮP’s are often used to keep an artist’s audience engaged. There were five songs, which didn’t fit the theme of the pending album, so Pete decided to release an EP on May 5th called, The Commonwealth Music Sessions, Volume One, which can be found here at his Bandcamp site. Mancini, a prolific songwriter, had just buttoned up some thirty songs for his next album, yet to be released.
I hear a thread of Gordon in Mancini’s music as he is admired as well among the community of musicians on Long Island. The late Gordon Lightfoot (passed away on May 1st), was a favorite of both John Prine and Bob Dylan. Pete Mancini is a craftsman and consumate performer, a troubador who on track, in my opinion to be the next Gordon Lightfoot.
I found artists who love their labor, while patching us up with their original music. Covering the music scene in this little corner of New York State, I often search for connection and community, pleasantly surprised to pick up on a musican who lifts me up, and welcomes me into their world. The feeling of loneliness, isolation and lack of companionship have been on the rise in the past few years. You can find a deeper conversation with Pete Mancini right here on The Long Island Sound. More to come on the Hank Williams’ project on May 12th. In a soon-to-be episode of The Long Island Sound Podcast, I interviewed Bill Herman of Paradiddle Records only to find Pete singing on the opening track of the Hank Williams Uncovered album, “Lovesick Blues” to perfection. Pete Mancini keeps popping up on my radar. Pete was one of my early guests on the podast and I was fortunate enough to sit down with him and talk about his travels and ever growing catalog of songs on the most recent episode out today.
