Winner at the 2024 Fretfest Song Contest Tamworth. Campbell's songs are a sidewalk cafe, a mood, a glimpse in the mirror. His blend of acoustic and electric folk styles – from Appalachia and London, to the streets of Sydney – combined with blues, country and Americana, show that his influences are wide-ranging, from iconic artists such as Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, and John Prine to contemporary Antipodean songwriters such as Paul Kelly, Bernard Fanning, Neil Finn and Laura Marling. His voice is authentic and intimate, floating with a warmth and a country quality filtered through urban dust.

2022 and 2023 saw singles premiere on 2SER's The Outpost, Sunburnt Country Music and Stuart Coupe's Dirt Music radio show. This was the first taste of the lifelong musician channelling his influences and drawing on experiences to create personal and heartfelt songs built around his voice and guitar.

On the back of two EP’s Pete has just finished work on a debut album with his new live band THE LAZY DOG, Tim Bradley (drums), Jed Wesley-Smith (bass), Ross Waraker (keys). Lending a hand on on the album are luminaries Lara Goodridge, Lachy Doley, Peter Hollo, Ollie Thorpe and Kim Girdlestone.

Amongst the studio project Campbell and band have spent much of 2025 getting into live shape around Sydney, parts of the East Coast and the recent Tamworth Country Music Festival.

The Sydney troubadour will release the album with his band The Lazy Dog over the coming months
