Peace Jones has released Down to the Bone, their first full-length CD. It&#s working-class funk-rock with a reggae vibe, featuring Paul DeCirce&#s artistic use of the flute and quirky lyrics. Whether you get down with the Laundry Lady, hang out with Mr. Anderson, join in on the Mutiny or get inspired by The Vision, there&#s something for everyone on Down to the Bone.
Peace Jones is a musical quartet from Asheville, NC. Formed in 2004 by front-man Paul DeCirce as a vehicle for his catchy and positive original tunes, PJ is quickly evolving into one of the most innovative acts in the Southeast region. The band consists of Paul &#Drum&# DeCirce (vocals, flute, harmonica, guitars); Scott Blanchard (bass, vocals); Todd Omley (drum set) and Craig Lambert (organ, mini-moog). Put simply: this band can swing from hip-hop to aggressive rock anthems, from experimental jazz to reggae dance vibes, from hard blues to funky grooves. Imagine Bob Marley meets Jethro Tull and Sublime. Check out the following excerpts from recent reviews:
Artistic use of flute, layered between 70s-style keyboard solos and quirky lyrics a la early 90s De La Soul. Peace Jones gets the crowd dancing, and then expands their minds. -- Alli Marshall, Mountain Xpress, Asheville NC, Sept. 27, 2006
There&#s just no stopping this pied piper. Peace Jones creates a mesmerizing, booty-shaking small town ruckus; working class funk-Americana…shades of Mighty Mighty Bosstones, George Clinton and Rare Earth -- The Indie, Asheville NC, Oct. 2006
Diverse performances throughout the eclectic Western North Carolina and Southeast regions have won Peace Jones wide acclaim and over a dozen reviews/interviews in regional newspapers and radio stations. DeCirce&#s flute playing and quirky, fun originals are quickly gaining the band many regional fans. 2007 will have the group supporting their new release Down to the Bone and touring throughout the east coast and farther.
