FRIDAY OCTOBER 2ND
CAFFÉ DELL'ARTISTA
A real treat as Pete Molinari heads to Swansea alongside his wife Mila Molinari for a very special new show.
Pete Molinari makes music the same way he has for twenty years: in small rooms, from lived experience, releasing only when the work is finished. No algorithms, no trends, no shortcuts. Just the songs.
He is a British singer-songwriter rooted in folk, blues, country and Americana. His catalog is deliberate and sparse. His live shows are intimate. His output treats every release - album, 45, book - as part of one continuous conversation with the listener. In an industry that often moves fast, that steadiness is the story.
This special show features his wife Mila Molinari, a celebrated burlesque performer, singer, and percussionist.
Born in Chatham, Kent, to a Maltese, Italian and Egyptian family, Pete first absorbed music through his older brothers’ records: Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly. Jack Kerouac’s writing sent him to America in the early 2000s. A planned one-month stay in New York became two years on the road. He played the historic Greenwich Village rooms - Bitter End, Gaslight Café, Café Wha? - and travelled through New Orleans, Memphis, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Paris. Those years shaped the voice and songwriting he still uses.
