The hunger Americans feel for change is palpable, and no artist voices this urgency better than San

Francisco-based Pete Kronowitt, a seasoned singer/songwriter who is releasing his fourth full-length

album, A Lone Voice. Pete’s emotive songs fuse acoustic pop and indie-folk, while evoking an era when

music was made to battle injustice. A Lone Voice, releasing worldwide on July 15, 2016, masterfully

explores themes ranging from socio-political struggles to musings on the human condition. His sound

is a Steve Earle-Elvis Costello hybrid, a heap of alt-Americana influences.

The album was recorded and produced in Nashville, Tennessee by Grammy-winning songwriter Phil

Madeira, with backing musicians David Mansfield on guitars, mandolin and violin, Dennis Holt on

drums and percussion, Chris Donohue on bass, and of course, Phil Madeira on guitars and keys. A Lone

Voicefeatures a set of lyrical new songs spanning folk, pop, country, and acoustic-punk influences from

the Ramones to Pete Seeger and John Mellencamp.

A Lone Voice stays upbeat, despite presenting some uncomfortable truths and lifting the curtain to

reveal political and media manipulation. Audiences will join the chorus of the title track “Change Is

Gonna Come” (inspired from Sam Cooke's iconic song) and tap to the beat of the album’s protest

anthem “Got Guns?” Through his music, Kronowitt pokes fun at the absurdity of extremism and

reminds us, the power of change is always here and now – within ourselves.

There are also intimate, personal moments in this collection, drawing connections between the

national zeitgeist and the all-too-human emotional toll it takes on those we love. The smooth and

Clapton-esque “You Are Here” reminds listeners (and Pete himself) to be present. “Holding Your Hand”

is a gift for his wife after 20 years together, and the tender, album-closing “Perfect Day” is a moving

tribute to his sister, who took her own life. “Tears on the Back of Her Head,” co-written with producer

Phil Madeira, was written for two friends lost to cancer and their spouses, and may be the most stirring

track on A Lone Voice.

With an unwavering belief that together, we can raise our voices to demand common sense solutions,

Pete reminds us, “The people of these great United States are bound by the many things we have in

common, and we must reject any manufactured issues which are cynically created simply to divide

us.” With his revolutionary new album, A Lone Voice, Pete Kronowitt has called for a rediscovery of the

protest song…and not a moment too soon.

Pete Kronowitt will be performing a CD Release party and delivering his strong political messages to

the Agora Theater and Ballroom in Cleveland, OH ahead of the Republican National Convention this

July 18-21, 2016.

There will also be various gigs throughout 2016 in the San Francisco Bay Area and across the West

Coast.
