"Alternative Folk Rock with a Conscience"
That's the way some critics have described the music of Peacefield. The crowd at their shows would also attest that it’s a danceable, earthy, raw blend of rock, country and folk that will make you think of early R.E.M., Son Volt, Neil Young and Toad the Wet Sprocket.
During the summer of 1989, Don Glatz was living on tiny Block Island off the coast of Rhode Island and started playing in the local scene. After coming home to Pittsburgh, PA, Don joined with his brother Jeff, and as a tribute to those days on Block Island, they chose their name from a combination of two tiny southern New England towns named Peacedale and Wakefield.
