Jared "Pete" Gile

Jared “Pete” Gile is a one-man band from Kansas who still plays solo gigs in dive bars and small spots whenever the calendar allows.   The Small Town Troubadour, armed with guitar, foot drums, harmonicas and a handful of other tricks, delivers his original songs, as well as other classic beer joint favorites, with cynical and often humorous storytelling—no big production, just the tunes and whatever vibe the room calls for.
 

He’s released four albums (Modern Day Mountain Man, More of Me, Small Town Troubadour, and the Middle of the Midwest EP) and has shared stages with artists like Luke Bryan, Phil Vassar, Robert Earl Keen, Darrell Scott, and Billy Joe Shaver.  
 

These days he also co-hosts The Troubadour Podcast with Carly Evans. It’s a no-rush interview show that sits down with singers, songwriters, and artists from the Country, Americana, Texas, and Red Dirt scenes—think long conversations about the music, the road, and everything in between. Past guests include Ray Benson, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Jack Ingram, and plenty more with over 220 episodes released to date.
