As Many Weirdos As Possible

Pete Droge has spent decades shaping the Pacific Northwest sound from a few different sides of the stage. Over the years, he’s played guitar for March of Crimes and 25th Hour, fronted Ramadillo as guitarist and vocalist, and has had an incredible career as a solo artist.

His portrait was taken on Lisabeula Beach near his home on Vashon Island, not far from Bainbridge Island, where he grew up and joined his first bands.
“Bainbridge was a unique place to come of age. It was quiet and rural, with easy access to a great city with a thriving music scene just a 35-minute ferry ride away.”
