Coming out March 2, 2010, is a new album by band Peasant. It’s called Shady Retreat. The band’s lead singer Damien DeRose is just 18 years old. He got his start in music when he dropped out of school (don’t do it!), packed up his guitar and bought a sailboat in California with a friend. They planned to sail down the coast, live the simple life and let the wind take them where it wanted. Thank goodness things didn’t work out that way.
