​Peter Yeates and Ken Larson are taking the stage at 48 North Pizzeria! Together they play Irish, Scottish and American folk music, plus some old rock and roll standards.
Peter Yeates emigrated from Dublin, Ireland to Portland in 1971. In 1973 Pete and Rich Gillette started playing some local gigs around the Portland area. After that Pete started the Irish music scene in Portland where he played at the Old Irish Inn on Barbur Boulevard and together with Nick Voreas, they delighted audiences every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.
He has taken his early rock roots and combined them with his Celtic influences to create a hard-driving yet soulful sound. Peter has toured much of the world as a solo act and also with various Irish musicians. Pete toured as an opening act for the "Kingston Trio" and the "Limelighters". Bob Shane of the Kingston Trio called him "one of the best opening acts I have ever seen. He really primed the audience for us." Pete has appeared at the Milwaukee Irish Fest, The Minnesota Renaissance Festival, the North Texas Irish Fest and many other Irish and folk festivals in this country and abroad.
Pete plays regularly in Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington and at different venues during the St. Patrick's Day celebrations every year.
Ken Larson (bodhrán, lead and backing vocals) originally from Minneapolis, MN, has developed an inventive and unique style in his three decades of playing bodhrán. He pulls an amazing range of sounds from the simple Irish drum. He has toured the US with Peter Yeates, in their two decades of collaboration, and has also performed and recorded with some of the premier Celtic groups in the Portland area.
