Biography
Yuba County, California
In 1976, Peacock appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle in a jazz column written by Frank Kofsky, who helped to start Peacock’s career. In his early days as a musician, Peacock nestled in with some of the Bay Area’s finest, keeping company with major artists like singer Eddie Henderson, trumpeter Mark Isham, and pianist Art Lande’s ECM-signed Rubisa Patrol. Later on Peacock established his own band named the Charlie Peacock Group, that were later signed to Bill Graham Productions. During the mid-80’s the Charlie Peacock Group toured all over the US and Canada in support of other 80’s bands as The Fixx, General Public, Let’s Active and Missing Persons, and Charlie Peacock opened up for artists as diversed as The Hooters and Bob Marley as well. Charlie Peacock’s first solo album, the self produced Lie Down in the Grass, was released in 1984 on the Sacramento label Exit Records under distribution by A&M Records. Two years later a self titled album, co-produced by Nigel Grey (The Police), was released on Exit Records, this time around under distribution by Island Records.

Long time ago I saw him in netherlands at the Flevo Festival. He was amazing. It was a very special atmosphere - there was something in the air. I'll never forget this special evening.

It was fun hearing The Way of Love (recorded at the Dutch Flevo Festival) again!

The first song that caught my attention from CP was The Secret Of Time. It was innovative beyond normal creativity (if there is such a thing). I had been writing songs for about 2-2 1/2 years when I ran across Peacock, & he changed the way I looked at songwriting forever. Others contributed, but he was the catalyst that reinvented the box everyone else claims to think outside!! (Hey, that was pretty good!! I'm usually that profound!!) Anyway, Charlie, if you read this, I gotta give a big shout of thanks and a hat full of gratitude. You've been an inspiration and a blessing. You taught me how to release both pain and pleasure into words and music. Life is living, now.
