Pete Mathison - Shammanic Upright Bassist

Pete has had a long career in North America as an exceptional bass player. He was with the nationally acclaimed band Farm Accident bringing in a new era for folk music of all types. He plays with Cousin Dad, the bluegrass band on the edge of propper. They won the City Pages Best for their band name in 2005. Howwastheshow.com review - here.

You can hear him with a variety of other groups as well.

Lending his solid and spiritual roots to the original "Yuletide Celebration" CD, Pete has been with Kari Tauring and Friends from the beginning in 1999. He has added to the shows ever since. Pete also contributed to the Huldre ensamble in the live performance at the Bryant Lake Bowl Theater, Sept. 06.

He is also a computer consultant, a very kind one for those whose learning curve and learning style are not typical of techno-geeks.

His children Owen and Dorothy have contributed to a variety of Discovering Origins/Building Tradition Ritual Shows. We are sure to see more of them in the future!
