Ashley Peacock and Band

w/ Barzin
Ashley Peacock is a rare find in music these days. His sound is at once sparse and full. The mood is totally dynamic: from songs resembling eulogies to anthems of bright celebration... One man with an acoustic guitar, singing with passion. Since 1999, he's released two full-length albums independently and staged constant successful touring campaigns everywhere east of the Mississippi. Now based in the Cincinnati area, he is currently writing and recording material for a third release while continuing a relentless touring schedule.

Slow and melancholic, introspective and confessional: These words in some ways describe the sound of Barzin. A project that began sometime in 1995, Barzin was a solo endeavor at its inception. But somewhere along the way it shed its solitary skin allowing a wide array of characters into it's sound. the sound of the music has continued to remain true to the esthetics of quietness and minimalism. It still concerns itself with exploring the quiet side of pop. In 2003, the album that was self released by Barzin the previous year was picked up and re-released by Ocean Music and Where Are My Records.
