Damien DeRose aka Peasant made some waves when he released his On The Ground album in the summer of 2008. On his sophomore release Shady Retreat he sounds more confident, having found his voice and being more adventurous in his arrangements.
Acoustic guitar and piano are still his main instruments. Spicing things up with organ has added another layer to his work. DeRose is evolving into Americana singer who should appeal to the the "in-the-know" crowd and, hopefully, outside that niche too.
Shady Retreat is released on Paper Garden Records. Release date: March 2nd.
