Overview
You may have heard Bob’s music on NPR, seen him on stage with Jon Fishman (Phish) or read about his debut record amongst Jack Johnson and Avett Brothers on jambands.com!
According to All Music Guide his tunes are “contemplative, funny, intellectual, good-natured and eccentric all at the same time" and he’s "well-worth keeping an eye on."
Peace was a top ten finalist in the same songwriting contest that Ray LaMontagne won (different year) and he performs his original music as frequently as possible!
Often compared to Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse and Mac Miller for his original sound, Bob Peace is the one man band for you!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Bob Peace to perform at our corporate event in Las Vegas of about 150 attendees and I was pleased with the experience. His talent and professionalism shone through from start to finish. Bob’s music set the perfect atmosphere, and his ability to engage with the audience was great. I received numerous compliments from attendees about how much they enjoyed the performance. I would recommend Bob Peace for any event.

Response from Bob Peace:
ty kristi!! u put on SUCH an amazing event and your entire team was incredibly easy and efficient to work with! i’m so glad the music set an enjoyable atmosphere for everyone and that they enjoyed it! cheers! peacer
Working with Bob and his team was a breeze. We were looking for an artist that could provide a nice ambient backdrop for a small exclusive crowd. It's tougher than it sounds. You need to be talented, you need to understand that this crowd is not necessarily here for you, and you need to be able to read the room. Bob Peace, ticked all the boxes. I great entertaining evening while not overpowering the networking vibe for a room full of executives looking to unwind. Thanks Bob, looking forward to doing it again.

Bob played an intimate event we had at Fontainebleau Miami Beach for our board of directors. Everyone enjoyed listening to Bob. He was fantastic and is incredibly talented. He and JJ are so easy to work with, personable, and just all around fun. Great guys! Hire Bob, he’s awesome!
Bob was fantastic and extremely reliable! Unfortunately he got sick and still showed up and played the 3 hours. Very happy although felt terrible for him. Would definitely hire him again!

I have nothing but great things to say about Bob! We wanted someone to play at our welcome party while everyone mingled. The music he played was perfect. He was so easy to work with and quick to respond. I would recommend him to anyone for any type of event! Thanks for everything Bob!
Bob Pearce may not strike you as being good for a corporate reception - but think again! He played our corporate reception at the Bellagio in Vegas - people loved him! He played a great variety of music - super singing voice! Bob was easy to work with - professional and responsive. I would definitely book with him again.

Response from Bob Peace:
appreciate u ryan! great staff and lovely venue/event! peacer
I've known Bobby for over 15 years now. He was a musician in Vermont when I lived there. I am astounded at Bob's talent as a songwriter, singer, rapper, (!) and guitarist. I have never met anyone who could write a great song as quickly as he can. One after another! He is a fantastic lyricist.
I have two of his early CDs of original songs and still play them to this day. They are full of great memories and insights of his experiences as a musician and as a resident of Vermont (a unique state!). Bob should be much more recognized as the talented artist he is. I hope he continues his success as a musician, reaching people far and wide with his song writing skills and musical abilities. He will touch your heart with his music and his beautiful soul.

We hired Bob Peace to play at the 2023 Catalina Wine Mixer on Catalina Island. He was a huge success! The guests enjoyed his music, he was entertaining, and we received unsolicited positive feedback during, and post the event from many of the attendees. Bob will be playing again on Catalina Island!

This man has a voice that is wonderful - soothing and energizing at the same time. His original music is both playful and meaningful. He will bring happiness to any event ! Though the event I attended was years ago, he is the same or better now....

Response from Bob Peace:
Hi Barbara and thank you for your heartfelt review! Hoping you are well and blessed during these trying times! Bob
Bob provided a lovely evening for our small dinner party event- he interacts well with the audience and plays a wide assortment of favorites ! With a small portable amp for his voice (which he needs because his voice is soft) it was a perfect night ! All of our guests asked for his cards - we will all be using him again👍

What to Expect
Bob Peace plays guitar and uses a vocal harmony pedal which provides a rich layer of depth to the vocals. With his Boomerang Phase 3 Looping Pedal, Peace is able to stack multiple musical layers (guitar, bass, percussion), thus creating the sound of an exciting and adventurous one-man-band.
To be sure, the Bob Peace show incorporates elements of blues, country and rock n’ roll to keep the ambience relaxed and exciting all at once.
Bob Peace brings the latest sound equipment and gear (if required) and shows up an hour before the show to set up and go over details.

Peace has welcomed Phish drummer Jon Fishman to sit in with his band.
Bob Peace has been performing shows and writing music for over 20 years and has performed upwards of 2,000 shows in his storied and adventurous career. You can be certain when Bob Peace comes to your event to perform that he is going to bring a level of quality and music that very few can replicate.
