My brother, George Pettis, is studying and teaching ethnomusicology at Florida State University. Additionally, he is the songwriter behind 100 Watt Horse. His latest album, "Dog is Goob" (a collaboration with engineer Graham Tavel) was released this April, 2020, on Sleeper Records. All proceeds from that release are going to several nonprofits of George's and Sleeper Records' choosing: Worker’s Dignity (in Nashville), and Philabundance and Philadelphia Community Bail Fund. IM Atlanta dubbed George's music a "unique brand of experimental folk," built "on his ability to communicate wistfulness in a way that is completely captivating." They called 100 Watt Horse "...the best experimental folk-pop Atlanta has to offer."
