Genre
Singer/Songwriter
Pete Droge has built a long-lasting career working in the margins of the mainstream, writing poetic folk-rock songs that are at turns rugged, rueful, and wry. He started out in the early-'90s, bringing a rootsy jangle to early highlights like 1994's Necktie Second and its 1996 follow-up Find a Door. The former yielded "If You Don't Love Me (I'll Kill Myself)," a hit single that featured in the film Dumb and Dumber. In the eary 2000's, he formed the Thorns with songwriters Matthew Sweet and Shawn Mullins. Droge continued recording on his own while also venturing into commercial work and film scoring - he composed the soundtrack to the 2012 documentary A Lot Like You. He also made a trio of collaborative albums with his wife Elaine Summers. In 2025, Droge returned with the poignant Fade Away Blue, his first proper solo album in almost two decades.
