Review for Great Peacock:
Great Peacock made their Chattanooga debut at spark earlier this year and received great feedback for their performance. After half a decade spinning wheels on the Great American Highway, Great Peacock’s Andrew Nelson and Blount Floyd have finally eased up on the throttle. Like rock & roll as it transitioned from the erratic abandon of the late ’60s to the country-tinged storytelling of the early ’70s—donning cowboy boots and dipping its bucket in the well of American folk music—they’ve put their electric guitars back in the case and let a serene hush wash over them. Now performing as a full band, Great Peacock’s harmony-driven acoustic pop appeals to fans of indie-folk, but the group is different from contemporaries like Fleet Foxes and The Head and the Heart in that their music is modern, but inextricably linked with the South.
