Host Pete Hart lives in Guysville, Ohio and grew up surrounded by bluegrass. He first started playing in 1964 when his brother, the late Sam Hart, got out of the service. With Sam on guitar and brother Tib on banjo, the mandolin was his by default.

The 3 brothers founded the Hart Brothers band, one of the more popular bluegrass bands in our area. The current incarnation of the group has been together for 9 years.

Pete works for a local utility company and builds and repairs instruments. He's hosted D28 for 10 years. His involvement at the station began when the Hart Brothers performed on a live program at the station.

When the pool of D28 hosts had dwindled to two, (Marie and Rusty), Marie Dickson suggested that Pete would be good. As usual, Marie was right, and Pete has been a regular ever since.
