PEAK

PEAK is a Brooklyn-based Quartet led by guitarist Jeremy Hilliard, a versatile singer–songwriter, that has been performing in its current incarnation since 2019. PEAK’s original music, characterized as psychedelic indie funk, draws from influences ranging from Talking Heads, Phish, and the Grateful Dead to Tom Petty and Bright Eyes. The band’s three albums, “Electric Bouquet,” “Choppy Water,” and “Vanishing Skies” highlight PEAK’s versatile talents within a range that veers from guitar-driven rock to Americana and melodic indie tunes. Hilliard’s musicianship and lyric narrative style mesh seamlessly with the talents of keyboard master Johnny Young. Friends for many years, the two started writing songs together as the band began to take shape. Blind since age 17, Young has been blessed with a soulful voice and musical talents that help PEAK paint richly detailed, ever-changing visions of color and sound on the stage. Drummer Kito Bovenschulte and bassist Josh T. Carter provide the flawless beat that moves the music of PEAK through a playlist including a distinctive mix of searing blues rock, high-energy electro funk and moody indie originals. The band has shared the stage with acts such as Goose, Eggy, Dizgo, Lespecial, Neighbor,  Mihali, Kendal Street Company, The Magic Beans, Space Bacon, and many more.
