Biography edit

Pete Roe was born in London and studied mechanical engineering at the University of Bristol.[5] In 2007, he moved to London and joined as session musician in Laura Marling's band. Between 2008 and 2010, he recorded on Marling's Mercury Music Prize nominated albums I Speak Because I Can and A Creature I Don't Know as well as being the second signing to Communion Records in the summer of 2010. The EP The Merry-Go-Round received critical acclaim: opening track "Bellina" was awarded Song of the Day status by Q magazine, and Roe named an up-and-coming star by The Guardian's influential music section.[5] In 2012, he produced folk-rock band Hot Feet's debut EP, Wood House.[6]

Roe's 2013 album, Our Beloved Bubble, was recorded at Watercolour Studios in the highlands of Scotland in only a few days. It was mixed by Ethan Johns, mastered at Abbey Road Studios and released by Middle of Nowhere. Our Beloved Bubble was described by Q as sounding "Like a lost 70s John Martyn classic" and Bob Harris called it "A lovely record"[7]

Pete Roe is a tuner and restorer of harmoniums and reed organs

Between 2013 and 2015, Roe designed and developed a guitar pickup called the Submarine that lets the player apply effects to two strings of a guitar, thereby making one guitar sound like two.[8]
