Pete Schlegel Kicks Off Pour Me One Tour

NASHVILLE, TN. (www.PeteSchlegel.com) - Country music artist Pete Schlegel will be hitting the road this May on his "Pour Me One" Tour. The tour will hit 18 cities across the Midwest in support of his new single, "Somethin' Strong," from his current CD Strong Stuff.

Pete Schlegel has had 3 national U.S. releases. "Short For Gone" spent 14 weeks on the Music Row charts before peaking at 51 in March 2004. The second release, "Leaving Ain't As Easy As It Sounds," spent 15 weeks on the Music Row charts before peaking at 54 in September 2004. Schlegel was chosen by Great American Country as the "Hot Pick" artist for November and December 2004 with the video for his third single, "It Takes A Whole Lotta Liquor To Like Her". "Liquor to Like Her" has also been receiving airplay on VH1 Country.

Pete Schlegel's music isn't easily tagged, but a guitar-driven, up-tempo, honky-tonk sound describes it best. Reminiscent of his inspirations, Ernest Tubb, George Jones, and Brooks & Dunn, Schlegel's sound is timeless. Schlegel's vocals are delivered just the way they're written: genuinely. No pretension or glossy over-production, just the range of human emotions and experience of one man.
