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, along with Alana and Niek Velvis on drums and bass respectively. Today, Basso and Martinez welcome Jake Herman on drums and Mike Davidov on bass as their rhythm section. ย 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), picked up the dobro in 2020 and it sparked a tectonic shift in his songwriting approach and output. "I started writing like crazy because the dobro was a new inspiring avenue of expression, it got me out of my old songwriting patterns from writing on bass," he relates. "What really inspired me with dobro is the slide aspect; translating the feel I'm used to from bass into the dobro's slide came very naturally to me. It changed my approach to writing in that it made me think about vocals in a much more melodic way. ย As a songwriter, it's brought me closer to a lyrical honesty ย rather than trying to do a lot of word craftsmanship." ย 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. ย 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. ย The band ย released their debut album, โLucky 13โ 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. ย It remains in the Top 15 Roots Rock Album in 2024 and finished as the #10 Roots Rock album in the USA for the year 2023. ย โMoments In Timeโ, 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.”
“...a blues and roots rock journey that occasionally has a tiny glimpse of old Nashville in it.”
