"Portland has the biggest crush on Pete Kilpatrick... the new star of the [Maine] music scene," says the Portland Phoenix. And judging by the wave of success the 26-year old singer-songwriter has had in the past four years – sharing the stage with such artists as Dave Matthews Band, The Wailers, Guster, O.A.R., Ray Lamontagne, Blues Traveler and many more while also selling more than 30,000 records independently – it looks like the rest of the country is becoming more and more aware of the band.
