\"Peach<\/p>\n

Peach has brought her dynamic energy and purity of voice to a new live CD, Peach and the Almost Blues Band: A Night in Copenhagen<\/strong>. Peach Reasoner, the recipient of many music and blues music awards, is known for her dynamic, powerful singing and excellent guitar work. Peach recently sat down with The Boise Beat <\/b>to discuss the album, her experiences in Denmark and some of the songs. And she talked about her visit to Idaho for the Great American Eclipse<\/a> too!<\/p>\n

Q: How did the audiences in Copenhagen treat you? Did they love your music?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A: I\u2019ve been very well received in Denmark from the onset. It probably helped initially that I\u2019m an American guitar-slinging blues woman (because there are few of us out there). But the Danes just like good music! So if the band rocks, the audiences will love you. It\u2019s pretty simple. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Q: You used Danish musicians, how did that come about?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A: I first went to Denmark in 2008 to meet with Annette Hagan Brandt who wanted to be my manager in Europe. I had a little ballad that I wanted to record and she introduced me to a guitarist named Aske Jacoby. He put together an ensemble of musicians to record my song. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After the recording, I kept meeting more musicians and drinking more and more coffee. Eventually, I knew quite a few musicians in Copenhagen and was pretty fired up from all the great coffee, and the rest is history \u2013 ongoing history.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2014 I was asked to join the Almost Blues Band (see <\/span><\/span><\/span>www.AlmostBluesBand.dk<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>). We made a live recording in 2016, <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cA Night in Copenhagen\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> and I think it captured the cozy (hygge) feeling from Caf\u00e9 Bartof in Copenhagen, Denmark on a night in February of 2016.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Same As I’m Over You<\/i><\/span><\/span> really showcases your singing talents. Tell me about that song.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Same As I\u2019m Over You<\/i><\/span><\/span> was written by my former band mate, Paulie Cerra. We are all so proud of Paulie who is now the sax man in Joe Bonamassa\u2019s band. I love slow 12\/8 blues songs and I was particularly attracted to the lyrics in Paulie\u2019s song:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI used to wake up in the morning, with my head all kinda sore, used to wake up in the morning, with my clothes, all over the floor.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn my younger days, I was so cool. Drinking whisky and acting a fool. Staying out all night and into the day. Sometimes I wonder: how I ever found my way.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And I love the irony that in the song, all the while, I am saying over and over again, \u201cI don\u2019t do that anymore\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m over you\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I love the song. It\u2019s delicious good fun to me. Thank you Paulie!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
