Babaux & The Peacemakers deliver a dynamic, authentic Roots-Rock sound led by singer/songwriter and dobro player Cristian Basso (aka Babaux), whose career includes work with Bo Diddley, Leo Nocentelli, Papa Mali, and Eric Lindell. Backed by Eric Martinez (guitar), Jake Herman (drums), and Mike Davidov (bass), the band blends jamband grooves, bayou blues, Laurel Canyon textures, and acoustic funk with rich rhythms and standout vocals.
Their 2022 debut Lucky 13 topped multiple Roots Music Report charts and finished as a Top 10 U.S. Roots Rock album in 2023. Follow-up Moments in Time also hit #1 and closed the year at #7 nationally, while their latest release, Keep Both Hands on the Wheel, is currently #1 in Colorado.
Praised as “unique… old-school and mature but fresh and vibrant,” the band delivers soulful, blues-infused performances that keep audiences coming back.
