Purveyors of cosmopolitan sonorities since the year 2000, Pedrograd (formerly known as Chalupki) have gathered a unique repertoire of passionate Klezmer wedding tunes, Balkan footstompers, Mexican polkas, gypsy-swingers, waltzes, musettes, tangos, fandangos, Italian film-themes, and even some unexpected originals, all delivered with customary panache and authenticity. Led by Pete Wilk (accordionist with Ant Noel & The Peabody Drakes), Pedrograd also features members of Get The Blessing, Moscow Drug Club, and The Baker Boys.
