Inspired by Jimi Hendrix and his own father, Peter Tascio began playing the guitar at the age of twelve. Despite complaints from his neighbors he continued to study the electric guitar on his own until age 15 when he began to study classical guitar. It was then that he learned to make consonant music, thus ending his neighbor’s discontent. In 2005, Peter graduated with honors from the City College of New York with a BFA in Jazz. Peter is a freelance musician and plays gigs around the tri-state area. He plays jazz, rock, folk and blues. Schedule of Sessions:
