Pete Fitzpatrick has toured extensively in the U.S. and Europe as a solo act and as a part of many different groups.
He studied music composition at Hobart College and guitar performance at Berklee College of Music. In the late 1900?s/early 2000?s he led the Boston experimental pop band The Pee Wee Fist, which featured a rotating roster of musicians and often included accordion, theremin, tuba, banjo, musical saw, alongside more traditional rock and roll instrumentation. While in Boston, he also played banjo in the Shirim Klezmer Orchestra, guitar in Naftule’s Dream (avant-klezmer-free-jazz on John Zorn’s Tzadik label), and drums with disco-goth group Green 4.

Pete was also a long-time member of the art-country-rock band Clem Snide, playing guitar, banjo, euphonium, Omnichord, and tape recorder.
He has also lent his euphonium and trumpet skills to Apples in Stereo, Mary Timony, and Golden Smog.
Since moving to Brooklyn, New York in 2004, Pete has played under various names (both solo and with a band), finally settling on Falcatross for the Fall 2009 release of Sprung on Scone Tone Records. While in New York, he has played with various experimental musicians like Taylor HoBynum, Abraham Gomez Delgado, Zeno deRossi, Jessica Lurie, Raz Mesinai, and he is currently a member of the genre-bending Spider Monkey String Ensemble and the latin-cosmic-jazz big band Positive Catastrophe.
Pete was a fellow at the Sundance Composer’s Lab in 2004, and he is currently scoring an upcoming full-length documentary on outsider artist Eugene Andolsek.
