Pete Brown (23)

Fiddle and guitar player and vocalist. He has performed bluegrass and country music for more than 30 years, and he frequently judges state and national fiddle championships. Brown started playing with Blue Mountain Bluegrass at age 13 and played many years with the Mcgaritys until he jumped into country music and headed for Nashville. Brown had several successful years playing country on the road which included playing for two Presidents, Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. After quitting the road with the country band, Brown came back to Arkansas and ran across an old friend from junior high, Patti LaFleur. She persuaded him to come back to bluegrass and play fiddle in a band that she was putting together. He began holding down the full time fiddle spot with Cedar Hill in 2011.
