S12 E7 Pete Evick- Guitarist Bret Michaels, Evick, The Ultimate Acoustic Rock Show
19/05/2025 Duration: 49minSend us a textTonight we welcome Pete Evick- guitarist of The Bret Michaels Band, Evick, and The Ultimate Acoustic Rock Show. We had a great time talking about his book- "MTV Famous" which can be found on Amazon.com.In 1982, MTV changed the way a generation of teenage boys and girls defined the word “hero.” Pete Evick was one of those kids. Now, his heroes shredded through songs like “Cum on Feel the Noise” and “Panama.” Pete donned a guitar and vowed to someday climb the ladder—to play alongside the inductees to his personal Pantheon. His journey was winding and sometimes reckless, but he eventually played before packed houses around the world, sharing the bill with all the bands he used to watch on MTV. Thanks to his hard work and dedication—not to mention, his support for (and friendship with) one of his heroes, Bret Michaels—Pete Evick lifted himself from the wrong side of the tracks in Manassas, Virginia, to achieve his dreams.https://www.amazon.com/MTV-Famous-Pete-Evick/dp/1956577076/ref=sr_1_
