Singer/songwriter Pete Kronowitt crafts honest, thoughtful, and accessible folk-based pop songs in the vein of Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, and Peter Case. Kronowitt honed his skills in the “stairwells and quads” of American University in Washington before releasing his 1995 debut, Phases of the Heart. Threads arrived in 2003, followed in 2005 by Elements, the latter of which raised money for the Diabetes Research Institute and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. In 2009, Kronowitt embarked on a short tour of Asia that included stops in Japan, China, and Vietnam. ~ James Christopher Monger
