Petty Chavez Music

Petty Chavez is a vocal-driven Americana duo blending folk, soul, and electronic textures into songs that feel both nostalgic and new: harmonies melting into guitars and warm percussion to round out a sound that’s at once intimate, expansive and emotionally resonant. Rooted in the misty greys of Simon Petty’s native England and Celia Chavez’s Pacific Northwest, and shaped by the sunlit sprawl of Southern California where they met, their music reflects a deep sense of place and feeling.

Simon’s lyrical voice was refined in his UK band Minibar (produced by T Bone Burnett and later, Rami Jaffee) and touring with Pete Yorn. Celia embraces Simon's sound with a translucent radiance shaped by years singing with Enrique Iglesias, P!nk, and Burning Spear. 

Their upcoming EP, set for release in Summer 2025, invites listeners into the acoustic warmth of their world — reflective, melodic, and open-hearted.
