About Me

Well it's finally here folks!"The Return of Jackuriah"!I'd like to give special mention to Blue Dragon Productions,headed by Mark Hashimoto,Keyboard Wizard,Engineer & Co-Producer.His skill at the helm of our musical spaceship has helped me realize explore the galaxy known as the Groove Universe! Let Imaginations Run Free Again as they did in the 60's & 70's with Direct Downloads!Not dictated by the Corporations but by Hope,Freedom & a Message of Love!Please Support Artists Who Dare To Dream! A little History;Out of the morass known as the "Nardcore Scene" in the 80's theyre arose a little known "pop secret" known as Jack Peck's Groove Universe,quietly building momentum until it merited it's own page. Groove Universe & Groove Universe Cowboys was/is & will be a combination of Ventura County's finest players headed by Joaquin Peck. Groove Universe was originally an album done in the 90's by Joaquin-Multi Intrsumentalist & Songwriter in the vain of Todd Rundgren/Tony Orlando & Dawn, XTC,Ethyll Merman & The Police. It evolved into an original & cover band performing lounge/ rock. A cult following has emerged for the CDs "Groove Universe" & "Splashdown"especially the "single",Not All Angels(are in Heaven). Thus the upcoming "Cowboys" project which will be an overview of Joaquins musical wizardry of one man band music & group efforts. Thanks to everyone,especially Japan,for your patience.-Joaquin Peck To purchase pre-packaged Cd's go to CDBaby.com/Joaquin.
