As longtime collaborators, the two have appeared in regionally popular bands over the years, including Dooley Austin and The BSweet Band. Well-known in the Northeast for his tasteful and understated stylings on the pedal steel guitar and sometimes the dobro, Pete has performed with various bands and contributed as a country-rock/old school session player to dozens of recording projects, including Sky Smeed, Felice Brothers, Louise Coombe, Arlo Guthrie, Jon Berman, and Steve Adams.

As a sixth-generation musician and multi-instrumentalist, Bobby is a widely renowned songwriter and performing artist with seven albums to his name. He has lent his talents as a musician and recording engineer/producer to many regional recording projects.

Southwest Passage by Pete Adams and Bobby Sweet is out now, available on all streaming platforms as well as on CD.
