Album Notes

Sometimes, something as solemn as death can be an enormous impetus to creativity. In the case of the brothers, Jeff and Don Glatz.

It's what brought them back together. The 1991 death of their father drew the brothers home to Pittsburgh, PA from across the country and led them to form an alternative music band. Peacefield's first CD release, "Narragansett" was released by Green Sun Records. The brothers named the album after the Narragansett Indians, who were driven from their Rhode Island homeland by colonists in the1670's. Singer/songwriter and guitarist Jeff was living in New York City, and singer/songwriter and guitarist Don was spending time in Austin, TX when their father passed away. "Our fathers death had a big impact on our first release." The Glatz brothers shared a great affection for Narragansett, RI, and in American Indian Lore. The "In Pittsburgh Paper" wrote "Narragansett is a strong contender for national attention, destined to be a indie classic."

Out and About magazine wrote"Well produced, good songwriting, Toad the Wet Sprocket meets R.E.M. Moody vocals, layered acoustic guitars and mandolins put the icing on the cake. Narragansett is a major winner." The song "Circle Spin" from Narragansett was chosen for Guide Wire Radio which highlights bands nationwide on a weekly basis.

Peacefield's follow up CD "Curse's & Calamity" was produced by Greg Joseph from the band The Clarks. The CD was released on King Mouse Records. The song "Warmer Side of the Street" was chosen for the movie Kingpin, starring Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray. The song "Little Mistress" was chosen for the PBS documentary The Class of 2000. "Peacefield sounds like the unlikely offspring of an unthinkable and impossible sexual liason between Michael Stipe and Neil Young" is what the Rock & Roll Reporter wrote.

Jamestown New York said "Peacefield's dramatic, socially conscious music is attracting ardent fans where ever they go!". After touring for over 10 years the band decided to take a break from touring and focus on writing. The band has shared the stage with such artists as the 10,000 Maniacs and Goo Goo Dolls. The band recorded a cover song of U2's "Running to Stand Still" which was put on the site for a listen.

Peacefield has made Texas home and is planning on a new 6 song EP entitled "Feeling Dull". The new material was recorded in Steubenville, Ohio at
