Music

Making records and writing songs has been a passion of mine for years - I have 3 solo records, 5 records with Pete Droge (and the sinners) as well as producing many projects with Pete including film scores and TV commercials. I have had great luck with getting songs in movies and on TV and was even in a couple movies playing a singer. Pete and I had our few seconds of fame in "Almost Famous" and I had a similar role in the made for TV movie, "Roseanne: an unauthorized biography." My work with Pete on his last album "Under the Waves" has landed us many, TV, Movie and commercial licenses - we co-wrote half the record together and put it out independently on our own label "Puzzle Tree Records". Pete and I are currently recording tracks for a series of EP's called The Pete Droge and Elaine Summers BLEND.
