Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter/guitarist PEACH & The Electric Blues Band will be performing a special single set of songs at WitZend in Venice, California on November 1. The all-ages show begins at 9:30 p.m.

PEACH, said by some to be “at the forefront of female-fronted blues acts” is fresh off of a recent successful performance at the Untapped Blues & Brews Festival. She will be backed by her noteworthy electric blues band which currently includes: keyboardist Ken Strange (Joe Cocker), guitarist Jamie James (Jamie James & The Kingbees and Steppenwolf); bassist Del Atkins (James Ingram and Pointer Sisters) and guest drummer Felix Pollard (Lionel Richie).

PEACH performs a mix of both classic and modern blues music. While her live gigs are always entertaining, this time PEACH promises something special. She says: "This gig will be featuring a whole new set of songs." She adds: "When we play the blues, we no longer have "the blues". . . this is the band of a lifetime. Rockin' and yet sweet at the same time. I'm thrilled with The Electric Blues Band."

PEACH’s musical credential include recording tracks with the likes of Taj Mahal, Marty Grebb (Bonnie Raitt and Leon Russell), Reggie McBride (Elton John), Joey Delgado (Delgado Brothers), Garth Hudson (The Band) and Paul Barrere (LIttle Feat). She has co-written songs with musicians such as Keb' Mo' and Marty Grebb. Her musical honors include Los Angeles Music Awards, Rockwired Radio Awards, All Access Magazine Music Awards, and South Bay Music Awards recipient.

Of course, while PEACH may sound like she’s all about the music, she has her charitable interest as well. In fact, she is the co-founder of Rock ‘n Cure, an annual event she produces and performs in to benefit Cedars-Sinai Medical Center’s breast cancer and stem cell transplant research. Much like the title of her first official full-length CD, PEACH is The Real Thing.
