Drown Your Boots with Jeff Petescia @ littlefield

Drown Your Boots make dusty, melodic rock with folk and Americana bones. Think early Modest Mouse meets The Tallest Man on Earth, played by three Brooklyn transplants who came up the long way.

Since their 2018 debut Hello, Below, they've gone from headlining legendary New York venues like Brooklyn Bowl, Mercury Lounge, Knitting Factory, and Union Hall to touring across both coasts, with stops at Brick & Mortar Music Hall and Timewarp Records out in California.

The writing is self-reflective without being precious, and the live set leaves real room for the band to stretch out. Stomp, twang, and the kind of improvisation that only works when the players actually trust each other.

A new record is in the works for 2026.


Jeff Petescia is a singer-songwriter and one-third of the indie alternative cinematic folk band Cold Weather Company. His sound blends acoustic and electric textures, with a distinctive rhythmic style shaped by his backwards guitar playing, emphasizing the lower strings in a palm-muted, percussive style, paired with a soft, approachable vocal tone. His influences span decades of music, especially ’90s rock, the early 2000s singer-songwriter and indie folk wave, and jam-band grooves.
