About

Musical Shape Shifters

Pete Keating is a life-long multi instrumentalist writing and performing all original material.  He has performed extensively in the Pacific Northwest as a solo musician and in several groups including The Dandelion Greens, Wild Man Cooley, The Blue Hole Iguanas, Wild Horses, Coyote Band, and The Renslow Trestle.



Born from a community of songwriters

 Having spent most of his life in beautiful Washington State,  he has been lucky to have bonded with others sharing the same passions for sound, rhythm and the skill of original song writing.  Each of his musical partners has helped bring a unique aesthetic to his music and having been blessed to perform with various individuals and groups over the years, he has grown comfortable jumping genres and mashing up influences.

Looking to the Future

Always in the pursuit of new writing and opportunities for performing, Pete is currently focusing on solo performances in addition to his latest assembly of musicians known as             

The Renslow Trestle.


Current performances will prominently feature new material but will also dive into favorites from his previous releases. Check out the performances page for updates on upcoming shows near you.

Press reviews

"great concert". It is obvious that everyone enjoyed the show".  "Two standing "O"s and an encore are the evidence."  - Nick Hughes (The Yakima Folklife Association)


"Mixing Northwest rootsyness with nods to early Dylan".  Yakima Hearald-Republic


"best authentic hobo-folk you can dream of"  - Aimar Ventsel (Estonian Radio) Tallinn, Estonia


"I love the Dandelion Greens CD."  "I love the pace, the energy and the interesting lyrics."  All the songs seem to be heavily inspired by Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues, but that is no bad thing!" - Eleanor Levin (BBC) Lancaster, United Kingdom


"I enjoyed every second of this musical high stand".  "You are great musicians and know how to lay your soul in your music".  Rudy "Country Eagle" Minaret (107.8 FM) Terneuzen, The Netherlands
