BIO-About
Babaux & The Peacemakers, originally brought four of Colorado's most acclaimed musicians, songwriters, engineers and producers together for a dynamic excursion across the width and breadth of the Roots-Rock spectrum. Led by singer/songwriter and dobro player Cristian Basso (aka, Babaux), The Peacemakers are Eric Martinez on guitar, and now feature Jake Herman on drums and Mike Davidov on bass . Basso, whose history includes bass stints for an array of icons from Bo Diddley to Leo Nocentelli (The Meters) to Papa Mali, and has songwriting credits with no less than Eric Lindell (on his acclaimed Gulf Coast Highway album), uses the dobro to spark a tectonic shift in his songwriting approach and output. "When I began writing with the dobro it inspired a new avenue of expression," he relates. “The dobro became a vehicle for allowing my voice to find a comfortable pocket, it feels honest and that resonates in the songwriting.” Embracing an array of moods and styles from jamband-rootsy to swampy bayou blues with excursions that touch on vintage Laurel Canyon and acoustic funk, each song is like a new chapter in the Roots Music playbook. Smooth and haunting vocals with a rough and tumble poetic delivery nestled atop a series of multi-layered grooves make every song a different experience. The band released their debut album, “Lucky 13” in July 2022 and it was immediately embraced by radio stations across the country, leading to debuts on the Roots Music Report Top 50 Rock Album Chart at #3, the Top 50 Roots-Rock Album Chart at #2 and at #1 on the Colorado Top 50 Album Chart. “Lucky 13” also finished 2023 as the #10 Roots Rock album in the USA while their second album, "Momentts In Time”, was released in May 2023 and also has been embraced in the roots rock, rock and Americana genres and has charted as high as #1 in the Roots Rock chart and was the #7 Roots Rock album in the USA for 2023 according to the Roots Music Report.
“The vocals sit like a butter patty on warm bread, slowly melting with soul, taste and patience.”

MUSIC
“...a roots rock journey that occasionally has a tiny glimpse of old Nashville in it. ”
"The vocals are 100% unique and quite gritty, making for a fantastic listen across the whole of the record."
“There aren't many bands that are as unique as this outfit. It sounds old school and mature but fresh and vibrant simultaneously.”
"In so many ways Babaux and The Peacemakers feel like a southern rock band…..in a Curtis Lowe kind of way. It is soulful and bluesy, but open to outside influence and expanding on the blues vocabulary without losing its original intent."
