Show 131 – Stewart Pedley (Writer/Performer)

 
Welcome to ALTBAYS Show (feat. Fabian Roberts and Leo Magri)

Stu is a musician, writer and performer who grew up in Fielding, spent most of his life in Wellington and has been in the beautiful Coromandel for nine years. He studied philosophy and literature, and is also a librarian.

Stu goes to bed with music. He mixes it with his coffee for breakfast and then also has it for lunch and dinner. 

‘Eclectic in style’ is a good way to describe the music of Stewart Pedley. Over the course of 30 or so years of performing, he has drawn from a wide range of influences - from rock to folk, to New Orleans groove, to blues and punk and jazz - and has thrown them together to create a distinctive voice in songwriting. Front and centre of his music, always, is an attention to lyrics and a good knack for storytelling.

Stewart is based in Coromandel, New Zealand, and performs solo, as half of the Brazilian-Kiwi duo Let’s Go Descarrego!, and in the punk-rock band Corrosive Moses. He has recently released an EP by Stewart Pedley & The Sinners, titled Charlie Watts’ Shaving Kit. In 2014 he won the Best Original Song Competition.

ALTBAYS Show invites awesome people from Aotearoa, New Zealand, to have an honest, laid-back conversation. Our platform focuses on bringing communities together to grow and thrive.
