Peasant, the musical alter ego of Damien DeRose, was created when the small town of Doylestown, PA provided him with the seemingly perfect series of experiences to create an entirely new breed of songwriting and musicianship.
Having drawn comparisons to acts as diverse as Elliott Smith and Simon and Garfunkle, Peasant creates his own beautiful and unique style by finding comfort and satisfaction in the mostly dismal environment surrounding him.
Peasant's strengths seem to come from his humble stature, by letting his music speak for and through him. He has continued to display an astonishing ability to quiet nearly any audience with a simple acoustic guitar, an awe-inspiring vocal style, and a personality of timid confidence.
His lyrical honesty and open imagery preclude any notions of forced sincerity. These lyrics, coupled with the lucid musicality of his guitar , justify the popularity of his first release, Fear Not, Distant Lover.
Come February of 2008, we will experience Peasant on an entirely new level, when his new album, On The Ground, is released on Paper Garden Records.

Still ...on those days when the clouds hold water, just about to break, the wind is picking up and we're cruising down hwy 101, below us the jagged edge, the surfs pounding and the horizon promises forever, your music is the brightest thing to the day. Safe Journey.
much love and respect

Wouldn't you like to Look As Good As You Sound? You have some great graphics there already - but how about some new posters for the next gig?
