LIVE PERFORMANCES

Willy Pete has entertained more than 100,000 troops since its conception in 2011, performing on multiple military bases across Italy, Germany and Belgium. In addition to Independence Day festivals across Europe, we also seek to serve the active troops and veterans at home, whether on base or in veterans hospitals across the country.
We partner with the USO, Wounded Warrior Project, MWR, American Red Cross and other organizations to provide engaging concerts and events. Whether in front of 20 squad members in a Warrior Transition Unit or 8,000 military personnel in Stuttgart, Germany on Independence Day, it is our desire to give our best performance and bring a little bit of home and hope to the warriors, troops and their families.
