<<Hi Moogy -
I was so glad I
had the opportunity to see The Peaceniks show at BB Kings in New York City. It
was such a great show. You have a passionate band who had a great blend of
harmonies and really sang and played well together. The level of musicianship
that was on the stage was very impressive. I think everyone should give the
Peaceniks a listen. You truly portrayed what your band's name says.
Peace.
. Look
forward to coming out and seeing the Peaceniks again! ........Laura>> <<It was a fun show! The Peaceniks sounded great! I really enjoyed the
show!!!

great rockin' songs and a hippie jam vibe along the lines of the Dead, Phish,
the Allman Brothers and Gov't Mule (whom Peacenik Moogy use to play with). Their
songs are somewhere between the lyrical content of early Bob Dylan, and the
harmony sounds of the Beatles.
In the year since they have started playing and recording they
have done many shows, concerts and recently put out their first album, "Here
Comes the Peaceniks" on Band Together Records.
This past September, The Peaceniks played at New York's premiere
rock club, BB King's. The concert on Sept. 9th, 2009 brought out hundreds of
fans. The Peaceniks opened the show and then backed up American Idol's Sanjaya
for a long set of his songs. In all, the Peaceniks performed over thirty songs
that night, either as Peaceniks or as Sanjaya's band. Their skills as musicians
were tested that night and they got an A plus for their performances.
The Peaceniks began writing and recording their songs
for their first CD on Band Together Records in the winter of 2008. Their album
"Here Come the Peaceniks" was released in the summer of 2009.
Over the summer of 2009 the Peaceniks held court weekly at the hot
Lower East Side music club owned by Gavin Degraw, "The National Underground".
Here, they played songs from their new album and had a "Peaceniks Jam" that went
on into the night.
During the summer of 2009 the Peaceniks also performed at several
important peace concerts. Opening for Pete Seeger at the New York Friends of
Clearwater at Manhattan's Pier 23 in July of 2009. The Peaceniks also opened for
Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul & Mary) at Universal Peace Day concert in
August of 2009. The Peaceniks started their career last summer, 2008 with an
appearance at Riverside Church for Universal Peace day, August 5th, 2008.
The Peaceniks have also done several radio shows and concerts over
the last year. With two appearances on WOR radio's Joey Renolds show performing
their songs the summer of 2009. Joey was so impressed that he invited them back.
On WBAI 99.5 FM, they recently did a two hour late nite concert on
legendary free form radio host, Bob Fass's radio show and also recently
appeared on WBAI's Cat Radio Cafe.
MOOGY KLINGMAN is the co-founder of the
Peaceniks, along with Barry Gruber.
Moogy was the original keyboardist for Todd Rundgren and Utopia. He played on 10 Todd Rundgren albums, as well as several Utopia albums. Moogy co-wrote “You gotta have Friends” with Buzzy Linhart. He produced and played keyboards for Bette Midler on her "Songs for the New Depression". Moogy played keyboards and produced a record for Bob Dylan - "Buckets of Rain" - a duet Dylan did with Bette Midler. He was musical director and associate producer, as well as keyboardist on "Music from Free Creek", an album where Moogy played and recorded with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Keith Emerson among others. He has also played live for Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Buzzy Linhart and in the 90's - with members of the Allman Brothers/Gov't Mule and a summer tour with blues legend, Bo Diddley. Moogy has performed at many legendary venues with various groups. From Carnagie Hall to Radio City Music hall from NYC's Bottom line to Live radio concerts on WBAI FM and K-ROCK. Moogy has had solo albums out on Capitol and EMI records, as well as on his own label. Many artists have recorded Moogy’s songs including Bette Midler, Carly Simon, Johnny Winter, Eric Clapton, Todd Rundgren and Barry Manilow. Moogy studied with private teachers such as the esteemed jazz legend Keith Jarrett, Tony Aless (pianist for Charlie Parker) and Sanford Gold (pianist for Billie Holiday) as well as arranging with jazz legend, Don Sebesky. BARRY GRUBER is the co-founder of the Peaceniks, along with Moogy Klingman. Barry is a guitarist, singer-songwriter and Peace
activist. His former band, Krazy Lyin’ released a CD “If the Moon Could Sing”,
and performed all over Seattle, including Seattle Peace Concerts.
In his career, Barry has performed in New York , including the C-Note, CBGB’s, Elaine’s, Trudy Heller’s, the Bitter End, and the Bottom Line. As president of Band Together Records, Barry has also been the Producer or Executive Producer for several CD’s, including PF Sloan (author of Eve of Destruction and Secret Agent Man), Peace Troubadour James Twyman, Kimberly Bass, Afire, and jazz pianist David Arnay. Barry also released a compilation CD called “Band Together for Peace” which features 17 independent artists singing songs of Peace, including “We Believe”, a children’s peace song which was recognized with a certificate of achievement from the Mayor of Los Angeles. Barry is also the co-Director of Universal Peace Initiative, an organization that puts on events commemorating the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, turning a day of horror into a re-affirmation of life. Pete Seeger, Peter Yarrow (of Peter Paul and Mary), Odetta, Richie Havens, and others have performed at these events. Barry has studied jazz guitar with the legendary
John Abercrombie. Hi Folks, The audience response from our BB King's gig on Sept. 9th, 2009
was great. People dug my band, the Peaceniks and they also liked the way we
backed up American Idol's Sanjaya. It was a big nite. The Peaceniks opened the
show with 8 songs and then we did 20 more songs backing up Sanjaya! And Sanjaya
covered the great American songbook of rock, jazz, blues and R & B. It was a
three hour show with three sets of different material.
All power to the peaceful,
Moogy
