Music Discovery: Top Album 2018 – Black Honey

Hi, I am Pete Greenberg, a music supervisor at PlayNetwork with more than 15 years of experience in the music industry.

My passion for music began as the alternative music director for my high school radio station in the early 90s. After continuing into college radio, I switched to independent concert promotion working with a ton of great bands from all over the Northwest. I moved to Seattle in 1997 and joined the ranks of Sonic Boom Records for several years before eventually moving on to handle the booking duties for The Crocodile Café followed by Chop Suey.

Most recently, I shifted out of the club world and into corporate life, working on programming for Microsoft’s Groove Music program (previously Xbox Music). For Microsoft I covered UK and Ireland territories while also having a hand in curating music channels and playlists for Italy, Belgium, and Spain. Finally, I have landed at PlayNetwork as a music supervisor!

Personally, I am a big fan of the Northwest music scene, New Wave, and a lot of current indie-type-dad-rock stuff (for example, Wilco, Tallest Man on Earth, X). I have also started a small vinyl reissue label dedicated to celebrating some of the great artists of the Northwest who have released phenomenal albums (or, in some cases, never got the chance to release them “officially”).

Other than music, I’ve been married for four years, have a two-year-old kiddo, a dog that my wife and I rescued on our honeymoon in Aruba, and strong opinions about most snack foods.
