12-31-06 Happy New Year everyone!! ...............As many of you know, 2006 was a year of big changes for Brother Peach - In January, a super talent joined us on stage for the 1st time and we've never looked back - Taking over as lead vocalist, Eric Morales took the stage and immediately changed the dynamic of the band...Eric's powerful and soulful chops provide the band with it's emotional direction - that of raw blues, soul, gospel, funk and everything in between...... Also, early in the year, New York guitarist Rich Lombardo joined the band...........Rich brings a style that can only be described as old school and searing hot.............His take on songs like Whipping Post, Liz Reed and Jessica must be experienced!.........A true disciple of the blues and southern rock, Rich's sound is powerfully reminiscent of the ABB early days................... By mid-summer things got real hot when three additional world class musicians joined the band.........Keyboardist Steve Demieri, drummer John Laguzzi and percussionist Craig DePass all signed on with Bro Peach within a few weeks of each other! Steve is simply one of the top musicians around - his playing has had a tremendous impact on the band's sound!! - Laying down the sounds of the Hammond organ through a spinning Leslie speaker cabinet has given the band the authentic ABB sound......On piano, his talent is without limits.....And you'll hear that - especially on songs like Southbound and Jessica!! - Chuck Leavell anyone?! Rock, blues, jazz, jam, soul, funk - John Laguzzi can play it all.......A drummer extrodiniar, John has added a dynamic to the rhythm section that must be heard to be fully appreciated.........With decades of experience behind the kit, John is intuitive, inventive and is always in the pocket!!! Craig brings with him the diverse rhythms he has attained through his years of experience playing as a percussionist both in the US and abroad......Elements of the these many musical styles and cultures can be heard in his playing with Brother Peach......Craig's style has had a tremendous impact on the band's overall sound and has added significant authenticity towards the ABB sound! To some things up, the current line-up is hot, we had some of our best shows ever in 2006, and 2007 is already shaping up to be more exciting than last!!......... So please help support us in the new year! - Without our friends along for the ride, things just couldn't be the same! Please check out our calendar for details on all of our upcoming shows.........Hope to see you soon!! As always – Peace from Brother Peach!!
