Peter Cardillo

I was born and raised in Newmarket, Canada, where I developed a deep passion for music from an early age. My journey as a professional guitarist spans over 15 years, and it’s been one incredible ride. Growing up in the 2000’s, I was drawn to the energy, rawness, and emotion of rock and alternative music. That passion eventually led me to play in two tribute bands that allow me to channel the era that shaped my musical identity.

I’m currently a guitarist for "Monkey Wrench," a Foo Fighters tribute band, where we recreate the explosive and dynamic sound of one of the most iconic rock bands in the world. I’m also a member of "Big Shiny '90s," a tribute band dedicated to the grunge, alternative, and rock hits that defined a generation.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of performing at high-profile events such as the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) and Q107 Canada Day, where I’ve had the chance to share the stage with incredibly talented musicians and connect with large, enthusiastic crowds. These opportunities have been highlights in my career, solidifying my passion for live performance and bringing the music I love to life in front of thousands.

For me, music isn’t just a career—it's a lifestyle, a form of expression, and a way to keep the spirit of music alive. I’m always pushing myself to grow as a musician while staying true to the raw, authentic sound that made me pick up a guitar in the first place.
