They've "Got Alot"!
Vocals, Presence,
And Instrument wise
And more than that
They're "two great guys"!

Know how to "use it"!

Do you guys ever do "Keep Your Love Alive"? It's one of my favorite songs by Novo Combo, although it's hard to pick a favorite when both albums are full of great music.

Having been raised On Peter's Pipers as a Kid on through to Novo Combo it will never cease to amaze me the range and depth of talent that my Cousin Bobby (Pete)possesses,it's great to see his career continue to evolve.I am grateful for all the N.C.Fan's nationwide who have shared videos and downloads for all of us.

Hey Pete,
Just wanted to give a great big "Thank You" for giving of your time last Sunday night at the Give-A-Gift benefit concert. The gifts have been distributed and many parents are so grateful and happy to be able to provide gifts for their kids this year.
Also, it was great seeing you (and hearing you sing) again.

Hi Pete
I would love to see Novo Combo's first two LPs on cd or on itunes. Is it possible to make these available for download from this site? Also, Novo Combo played on a King Biscuit broadcast from the Park West in 1983, this was an excellent performance. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to hear some live Novo Combo performances from the archives on cd or mp3. Great vocals, excellent music! Please let this music see the light of day.

Yo, Pete!
Mucho congrats to you and your bandmates on your award. Nobody deserves it more than you, my brutha. We traveled many miles together over the years, and I have been blessed to have not only worked with you and been able to hear your truly amazing voice for so many shows, but also to be able to call you my friend. When you did your gig "Live At JP's" & I put together a flyer, I used a quote from the NY Post: "One of the greatest voices in rockdom".
They were most assuredly telling the truth...
Love you, man!
God Bless,
Tedwick

"Nights in White Satin," when followed by the poem ("breathe deep, the gathering gloom...) is when you guys are the MOST fun. Don't stop playing that stuff. Don't stop having that kind of fun, it doesn't bring us down!
Abigail
August 7, 2007
Wow, I have to strongly disagree with Cosmo, I LOVE to hear White Satin and Levon, those songs are a great example of who you guys are and the amazing talent it takes to make them sound so incredible, please don't think he speaks for the rest of us... keep them coming!!!

Hey Pete,
Saw you with Novo Combo at My Father's Place on Long Island right around the time that the first Novo Combo album came out. My favorite track was 'Tattoo', at least that the name i remember... My love for you is like a tattoo, it will never fade away...
Anyway, amazing vocals. Blew me away. I just moved, came across the LP... sadly it wound up with the rest of the LPs (Kiss, Aerosmith, etc.), that all went the way of Goodwill.
That My Father's Place show was amazing, you were amazing, Novo Combo was amazing and it was one of those shows that I tell my friends about to this day... 28 years or so later. Thanks for the memories. Glad to see you're still out there, making music, happy, successful, and healthy.
Very Best,
Christopher

Greetings,
I had not seen you guys for awhile and I recently caught a gig (long-time fan and long overdue). I'm always impressed by Pete's artistry, and the band's, as well. But what is even more remarkable is that every time I leave a performance, I feel like my soul has been fed. I cannot say I have ever watched/heard anybody with as much raw performing talent as Pete. You guys are far and away levels above any of the local talent. What it takes to captivate a room in the way that you do is rare and exceptional. This time, I will not stay away for so long.
Thanks for sharing your gifts!
Natalie

Just a note to say that we heard you for the first time at Fresco's on 3/23 and I can't begin to tell you what a wonderful time we had! My friends and I enjoyed your music probably more than any other band we've seen! We were on our feet dancing and having a ball! You've gained 4 new followers! Hope to see you at Elephant & Castle!
Thanks for sharing your talents!

Hi Guys! I've been a HUGE Pete Hewlett fan since the "olden days" at church, but never had the pleasure of hearing Scott until catching Studio A over the holidays. Watching those fingers flying over the keys blew me away!
I always knew that Pete was especially gifted, and now -- wow! Hearing the two of you together! Amazing! I'm psyched that I found this site via Google!
Can't wait to buy your CD, and can't wait to share this site, and everything I just discovered here with my son, Beejae, who is a musician preparing to move to NY to break into the business after finally finishing his first solo CD. Am hoping to take him to one of your British Invasion shows, as Beatles' songs were his lullabies when he was little and have influenced him quite a bit despite my sour notes.
So good to hear you again, Pete! Your voice keeps getting better and better, if that's possible. Congratulations on your Emmy, Scott -- no surprise there! God bless you both.

We loved going to Wright's on Monday to hear you guys. What a great mix of music, from Billy Joel to Led Zeppelin. We also laugh a lot at the Pete and Scott jokes. We can't wait to bring friends. "YOU CAN'T GO WRONG AT WRIGHT'S".

Pete & Scott - I invited a bunch of friends (that had not seen you perform before) to Jamie's on Friday evening and each one of them thanked me because they LOVED your performance - the songs, the music and the singing! We all had a great time and can't wait til your September show at Jamie's.

Hey guys, I'm a big fan. I thoroughly enjoyed the Live from Studio A show. I had no idea that you rubbed elbows with such heavy hitters of the Pittsburgh music scene. Are you familiar with the flute and saxophone stylings of Terry Magursky? I used to go see Terry years ago at the James St. but I don't know where he plays these days.

Dear Pete,
I have just recently been watching channel 13 late at night on comcast cable channel 701, and I just want to comment on how fantastic you all are. I have been on the radio locally for 21 years, and have seen many people. both local and out of town, many groups, musicians, and tremendous talent, and you, Scott, Lisa Bleihl, Carol Espy, and others take a back seat to no one. You people are really good. If you ever want another good singer, please consider my friend "the singing policeman" from Monroeville, officer Jim Markel. He is very good, presents a great appearance, and loves to sing, mostly religious and patriotic songs, and he would be a great asset to your show.
Thanks,
Jerry Braverman

We cant wait to catch up with you again very soon...just back from our Hawaiian honeymoon and trying to get back in to the groove of work and everyday life. We will definitely see you on the 12th!

Keep up the good work Pete and Scott. I love listening to you guys live. I'll be coming to PNC Park to check you guys out again soon.
One suggestion ... I, too, would like to see you guys in more South Hills locations. What about The Baltimore House?

It seems as if there are a few people looking to relive their youth and find Novo Combo music available on CD or Digitally. I saw you guys perform as a warm-up to some local metal act in Rochelle Park NJ at a club called Pebbles or aka The Hole in the Wall. I remember you guys taking the stage and thinking to myself you were some kind of New Wave act, haha LOL! One of the first songs you guys played was Axis Will Turn, seeing the drummer lay down that groove and listening to that delicate but melodic guitar part brought to the front of the stage and I knew on that night I was witnessing something special and out of the ordinary. After that Night I started to investigate who this band was "That was Michael Shrive"!!!! I fell in love with your music. So before I go out and buy a USB Direct turntable to record my vinyl to digital, are there any plans to re-release any of the Novo Combo albums, hey I've seen more obscure bands re-release on CD Anyone ever remember a band called Art In America???? In any case I just ordered your new CD here.
Peace & Love

Dear Pete, Scott: Congrats on the new CD. I just read about it on your site and regret I missed the party. My daughter,Julia, and her husband Ryan MacDougall, at whose wedding you played 5/10/08 are now living in Boston and expecting a baby in October. I will be visiting them in about 10 days and want to make a gift of the new CD AND buy one for myself. (I just ordered your 2001 CD from HD Direct. If it arrives before my 8/8 I will take it to them.) Please let me know the best way to purchase 2 copies of the new release as I didn't see anything about its distribution on the internet. Perhaps I will see you at the casino, though I have never had any luck at the tables.
Best regards, Fred Steinberg.
