Don't miss your chance to hear this brilliant, "outlaw country" songwriter and performer. You can say you heard him at the DIXIE back when! A clean, but brooding American sound from a finger-in-your-eye songwriter. A biting, edgy, irreverent southern leftneck, articulate twang, thinking-man's songs. Environmental and socio-political themes. He calls his music "alternative southern" or "outlaw country"; whatever it is, it is implicitly political, cultural and relevant. It's all sung with Peeples' commanding, seasoned voice. It's a rough, edgy voice that works like a bucksaw on his recurrent themes of poverty, class struggle, hypocrisy and environmental ruin. From one song to the next, the mood shifts quickly from dark to comedic and back again. In addition, the Lonesome Doves, Lis and Lon Williamson, will be on hand with a special tribute to Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris.
