Peck the Town Crier is a former NYU jazz student turned street performer who busked
his way through genres and across the country. After steeping himself in the
jam band scene as a young man, Chris Peck became an afi cionado
of 1970s electric jazz groups like Mahavishnu Orchestra.
As if that genre hop wasn’t eccentric enough, Peck then
began hanging out at Zulu Nation parties and soaking
up authentic East Coast hip hop vibes. The result of
Peck’s scene shifting and style studying is a unique
mixture of electric jazz, hip hop and pop. The guy
can go from p-funk to honky tonk at warp speed, use
his cadence like an instrument and play mean guitar
licks while rapping about James Brown, underwear
and other obscurities.
A natural performer and road warrior, Peck is
touring the Pacifi c Northwest for the fi rst time,
stopping through Eugene to bless us with his nerdy
wit and spitfi re rap verses.
Chris Peck the Town Crier plays 8pm Friday,
July 13, at Tiny Tavern. FREE.
