Hunt grew up in Asheville, NC where he found his love of mountain music and dance. In 1973 at the Mountain Folk and Dance Festival, he first saw the Green Grass Cloggers and was smitten (smit happens!) with this new style of energetic team dancing. While attending college at UNC-Chapel Hill, he and some friends founded the Apple Chill Cloggers, the first “clone team” of the Green Grass style. In 1976 Hunt was invited and quickly accepted to become a Green Grass Clogger, and traveled to Greenville each week to practice. The next year when the team decided to go “professional,” Hunt moved to Greenville and climbed on the bus (or was that under the bus?) to start traveling the world and sharing the dance and music and spirit that has become the Green Grass legacy. These days, in addition to dancing and playing, Hunt owns and operates the Weinhaus, a fine wine and craft beer store started by Hunt’s father back in 1977 (maybe his dad knew that would come in handy some day when his son came off that dancing thing).

Pete began dancing with the Green Grass Cloggers in 1988. With the team, he performed on Good Morning America, at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and on the Fiddler's Grove documentary.
