Babaux and the Peacemakers: Babaux & The Peacemakers Show Downtown

Town of Eagle Summer Concert Series

Babaux and The Peacemakers have released their third album, Keep Both Hands on the Wheel, which has steered
the band down a dynamic excursion across the breadth of the Roots-Rock spectrum. Led by singer/songwriter and
resonator guitar player Cristian Basso (aka, Babaux), The Peacemakers are Eric Martinez on lead guitar, Mike
Davidov on bass and Jake Herman on drums. Basso, whose history includes bass stints for an array of icons from
Bo Diddley to Leo Nocentelli (The Meters) to Papa Mali, and has songwriting credits with no less than Eric Lindell
(on his acclaimed Gulf Coast Highway album) drives the band’s signature Roots-Rock sound by providing a new
collection of songs that possess both soulful roots expressions reminiscent of the vintage Laural Canyon sound
and dynamic shifts of energy that speak to the strength of a finely tuned and deliberate rock edge.. The music of Keep
Both Hands on the Wheel road trips with a series of multi-layered roots grooves and the vocals “sit like a butter
patty on warm bread, slowly melting with soul, taste and patience” with a rough and tumble poetic delivery. Keep
Both Hands on the Wheel freely embraces the band’s organic musical journey together in Colorado, USA and is
shaped from each member’s individual talents colliding and leaves a unique and timeless musical impression in
your mind. Babaux and The Peacemakers are the past, present, and future of roots, rock and beyond.
