Hailing from Rensselaer, Indiana, Greg James and the Peaches bring an energetic, eclectic mix of original music and crowd-pleasing covers to stages across the state. The band features three seasoned musicians: Greg James on guitar and vocals, Joel Haskel on bass and vocals, and Christopher Louck on drums and vocals. Together, they blend creativity, musical chemistry, and a whole lot of personality.

Known for their dynamic setlists, the band effortlessly moves from Greg’s original work to iconic songs by artists such as Steve Miller Band, Fatboy Slim, Radiohead, Tom Petty, R.E.M., Depeche Mode, the Presidents of the United States of America, and the Rolling Stones. No two shows are ever quite the same—and that’s exactly how the fans like it.

At the center of it all is Greg James, a well-loved Indiana musician with a long history of performing with countless artists. Many of these musicians still show up to Greg’s shows—and often jump on stage for surprise cameo appearances. Over time, these guests became lovingly known as “the Peaches” because, according to Greg, they’re all just “so peachy and sweet.”

Greg has released three full albums on Bandcamp and continues to play across Indiana, building a loyal following wherever he goes. Shows are lively, interactive, and often hilarious—Greg has a natural rapport with audiences, seamlessly turning listeners into participants and participants into fans.

Whether it’s an intimate venue or a full house ready to move, Greg James and the Peaches deliver an engaging, uplifting, and unforgettable musical experience every time.

Paging Raymond is/was an alt-country / roots rock band from Indianapolis. The group counted Old 97's, Whiskeytown, and the Jayhawks among their influences, and like those artists embraced and incorporated pop hooks and strong vocal harmonies into their Americana sound. They released two CD's, the largely acoustic "Please.Quiet.Recording." and the more electrified "Bridges Left To Burn" before going into hibernation is 2004. The band occasionally resurfaces for a reunion show, most recently in 2011. While both Paging Raymond albums are available on iTunes, the songs here are unreleased demos and live recordings that turn up from time to time.
