Pete Molinari is a British folk and blues singer/songwriter, originally from Chatham in Kent. Born in to a large Maltese, Egyptian and Italian family, his early influences were 1960s folk musicians such as Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. Molinari was also inspired by the writing of Jack Kerouac which led to him heading to New York, originally planning just a month's stay.
