Pete Droge is an American adult alternative/folk rock musician.
His debut album Necktie Second, released by American records in 1994, featured the tongue-in-cheek " If You Don't Love Me (I'll Kill Myself)", (which also appeared on the soundtrack to the movie Dumb and Dumber), as well as the songs " Sunspot Stopwatch" and " So I am Over You."
Droge's next album, Find a Door, was released 2 years later in the summer of 1996 under the name of Pete Droge and The Sinners; his backing band included Dave Hull (bass), Rob Brill (drums), Peter Stroud (guitar/vocals) and Elaine Summers (guitar/vocals). This album met with critical success but received little airplay. Notable songs include " You Should Be Running", " Dear Diane" and " Mr. Jade."
Droge subsequently released two more solo records, Spacey & Shakin' and Skywatching; the latter was released on his own label, Puzzle Tree Records, through United Musicians.
In 1996 Droge contributed the title song to the movie " Beautiful Girls." Other credits include contributions to albums by Kim Richey and Stone Gossard.
In 2000, Droge appeared as a "Hyatt Singer" in the movie " Almost Famous" where he and Elaine Summers performed " Small Time Blues."
His latest project, The Thorns, is a three-part harmony Adult Alternative super group, which features other notable artists Matthew Sweet and Shawn Mullins.
