Jim and Marty Acoustic

The Full Band

BIOGRAPHY – A Summertime Experiment

Pirate Dreams came together in name in May of 2002, when two music store schmoes, Jim Jowsey and Justin Kubiak decided to puttogether an acoustic project for the beach bars up and down the Western New York coast of Lake Erie. The project featured the slacker nation music of Jimmy Buffett as well as other stripped down versions of popular songs. They added Justin's old friend Johnny Panic on the congas and were off, taking the beach bars by storm. It was a hell of a summer.

It was in that first off-season that Jim realized that a full band and sound might be in order so when Justin took off to rejoin his main group, he went to work building Pirate Dreams into the 5 piece group it is today. Starting off with local country artist Jon Payne, Jim hooked up with bassist Dave Rennicks and an old friend of his, Dean O' Keefe on the drums and the group was off for year #2, filled with more beach bars, “parrot head” events, outdoor festivals and even a few private parties. A few personnel changes here and there and the group settled into the lineup you see now, Jimmy on the lead vocals and acoustic guitar, Marty Peters filling in the vast majority of the guitars and backing vocals, bass player Gary Gorski and drummer Bill Moore handling the rhythm section and newest addition, Tim Schroeder taking care of percussion and MORE backing vocals.

Going into their tenth year, the band has settled into a groove that is uniquely their own in their home area, “Trop Rock”, a mish mash of Rock-n-Roll and Country sounds that celebrate escapism, the getting lost on a tropical island variety. With local, regional and national music festivals under their belt, a repertoire of summertime tunes diverse enough to keep anybody dancing all night long under the stars and a disc of their own tropically inspired creations helping to establish a name for themselves as songwriters, Pirate Dreams is poised, locked and loaded to do what they do best. Take their tropical, laid back musical vibe to the masses, mix up a boat drink or two and sail off into the sunset, with a few thousand like minded friends trailing along for the ride.
