Kent Peterson is a busy Midwest musician, engineer, and producer. In addition to the percussion and vocal contributions he makes in the Auto Body Experience, he also plays bass, and has been seen in several Twin-Cities based groups, including Tubby Esquire, JJ's Zydeco Paydirt, and the Explodo Tones (with Dean White and everyone’s pal Nate Westgor). Tubby Esquire’s John Schech once described Kent as being "Kind of a thinking man's Sting,” but we suspect John was making a joke.
One of Kent’s recent non-Auto Body musical highlights was playing bass and singing high harmonies on a Van Halen cover within earshot of Van Halen’s Michael Anthony, who responded with a facial expression suggesting a full-fledged appendicitis.
As far as Kent’s past, not much is known. He is a man shrouded in mystery -- the kind of man who would conveniently “forget” to submit his biographical information to the webmaster, just as Al Capone simply forgot to pay his taxes.
