Petey Puckett CD Release Party

Sat, Jul 13

Formed in 2004 at Park Middle School, the Petey Puckett Band made their debut at the school's social event and quickly established themselves in the local music scene. As one of the youngest bands to play live shows during that period, they were often hauled around by Petey's dad, Ed Puckett, in the family's old Astro van. Ed played a pivotal role in the band's formation and success, ensuring they had gear despite tight finances. He wore multiple hats as the manager, booker, light show extraordinaire, and all-around support for the young band. Initially starting as an all-instrumental group, the band found their voice when Petey Puckett took over as Lead Vocalist and Lead Guitarist. Influenced by stoner rock, grunge, punk, and alternative genres, they spent their early years refining their sound and playing local shows at Ray's and 321. The Petey Puckett Band thrives on blending multiple genres, keeping their music diverse and open to all forms. Over the years, the band has performed extensively across the Pacific Northwest and beyond, including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and California. Known for their unique live performances that are "Never the same twice," they bring a dynamic and spontaneous energy to every show. With thunderous beats from Gordon Townsend on drums, the solid rhythm and bass of Ryan Duncan, and the powerful lead guitar and vocals of Petey Puckett, this band offers a one-of-a-kind experience. As they celebrate their 20th anniversary, the Petey Puckett Band continues to captivate audiences with their original sound and unforgettable live shows. Heavily influenced and born from the spirit of the PNW, they invite you to enjoy a performance that will never be repeated in the same way twice. Ed Puckett passed away in 2015 from brain cancer and is terribly missed. Without his contributions, guidance, and unwavering support, the band may have never grown into the sound-threatening beast it is today. 9pm-Close, all ages until 11pm!
