Peace Jones (PJ) have appeared all over the WNC region, including Grassroots Festival, Organic Fest, WNCW live from Studio B., Local Color live from Echo Mountain, and have been featured twice on 105.9 Local Color show, appeared at The Orange Peel, Grey Eagle, One Stop (Asheville NC venues) as well as repeat booking in WNC, TN, GA, SC and some VA venues.
Frontman Paul DeCirce is becoming well-known for his high-energy showmanship, covering vocals, guitars, flute, harmonicas, sometimes mandolin and saxophone...this exhausting performance usually results in a brief musical history of rock, blues, jazz and reggae. Guitarist, vocalist and keys man Andy Moffitt, bassist Greg Terhune and drummer Eric Ciesla are right in step with DeCirce and the group's 2013 summer show has been creating some epic tapestry.
Reverbnation's PJ radio station features three live songs from the Summer 2013 tour as well as their brand new EP RNR Rev, featuring three of the band's reggae-rock tinged originals. This band is at a high point in performance and professionalism and they look forward to meeting new fans and friends soon.
“Peace Jones is a killer band!”
Kim Clark - WNCW, 88.7 fm
"What DeCirce does – a tactic employed by reggae great Bob Marley – is sneak the message in between a contagious groove and a catchy hook. First, get the crowd dancing, then expand their minds."
Alli Marshall - Mountain Xpress
"Working-class funk-rock with a reggae vibe, featuring Paul DeCirce's artistic use of the flute and quirky lyrics."
Topix.com
"Peace Jones is genius; amazing flute with skilled and funkified keys, strings, and percussion. Reggae-infused and straight up funk, these guys do it all so well. Totally original stylings with a natural vibe - nothing forced or corporate about Peace Jones - it’s 100% from the soul."
