Bio

As a kid I used to have dreams I could play guitar, waking up disappointed each time as I realized it wasn’t real. I always loved music growing up, but it was my first concert that finally pushed me to begin teaching myself guitar in my early teens (along with a bit of jealously seeing YouTubers my age covering my favorite songs). I also realized that time invested into Guitar Hero 3 was much better spent on the real thing.

The only guitar in the house at the time was my sister’s right-handed acoustic, so I began playing everything upside down because for some reason I am left-handed when I play guitar (or hold a hockey stick/golf club). I am right-handed (or footed) with everything else. Rather than flip the strings or eventually purchase a left-handed guitar, I committed to playing with the strings inverted.

16 years later, I’m continuing to do what I love in multiple projects, the main one being Cold Weather Company. We’re currently finalizing our fifth album.

I am so excited to share my new solo EP “Far Beneath the Sun” out 1/5/24. You can listen and read more about it on my News page.

All my solo music is available on all streaming platforms under Jeff Petescia.

You can also find pet droid, my indie-electronic collaboration with Android Dreaming, under the project’s name or my name.
