About Me
“Good songs come in all shapes and genres.â€George Peele was born on April 20th, 1977 in a San Francisco Army Hospital. The son of a paratrooper whose primary responsibility in Vietnam was to defoliate the jungle with Agent Orange, he was soon transplanted to a small town in southeast Colorado affectionately known as Boredway. Twelve miles from the self-proclaimed “cantaloupe capitol of the world,†Peele began ripening.Inspired by a barely teenage Roommate (KentLambert.org), Peele began penning songs on a shitty acoustic guitar in high school. Upon graduation, he packed all his belongings into a spaceship-like station wagon and migrated to the People’s Republic of Boulder to study creative writing, music and performance art. Program Council, the student run organization responsible for concerts and movies on campus, was his introduction to the music business. It was in Club 156, a student center basement hole in the wall, where Peele took his first regular gig hosting an open mic night. One night, following a gig at a campus coffee shop, a frosh ginger named Shannon O’Brien insisted on showing him something in her dorm room. It wasn’t her vagina, as it turns out, but an anatomically correct orange peel sculpture made by a sushi chef on Pearl Street. After dining there to witness the edible artist in action, Peele drove across the state to his mom’s house and rescued his father’s yellow Tupperware citrus peeler from the bottom of a box in the basement…and taught himself how to do it. A full decade later, he is probably one of the foremost fruit sculptors in the world.Peele is practically omnipresent in the Mile High Club scene. As Managing Editor for Denver-based nightlife bible Image Magazine (ImageMag.com, 15,000+ circulation), he profiled all the finest DJs and clubs as well as plays, musicals and even Cirque du Soleil. He was the live vocalist for Westword “Best Club DJ†Friends in Stereo (FriendsinStereo.com), a live dance music act who relied mostly on original material that rocked Ultra Fest in Miami, St. Louis and Burning Man (Nevada). FiS were also one of Denver’s biggest selling acts on Beatport.com (the iTunes of dance music). Additionally, he is a stilt walker and event consultant for one of Colorado’s busiest and most well known promoters, Kevin Larson. In the daytime, he is arguably the finest singing telegram messenger in the entire state (if not the region), delivering an average of fifteen to twenty per month to offices, restaurants, bowling alleys, residences and more. In his plentiful spare time, he writes and records original songs with a number of Colorado-based producers including Mike Binder (CurrentProMusic.com), former Apple Records’ recording artist Lon Van Eaton (ImagineABetterWorld.com) and Friends in Stereo. An homage to the Man in Black, which he has performed in both Nevada (Burning Man) and Indiana, earns Peele extra cash on the side.“Orange Peel Moses is a rare character.†– The Onion“Beat culture writer and underground music zeitgeist, the orange one’s expansive repertoire is nothing if not a-peel-ing.†– Westword“A one-man subculture, Moses is parting the waters of the club circuit with his unique performances, replete with orange peel sculptures and a juicy mix of synth pop, spoken word and hip-hop.†– Westword“The man is a legend on the scene.†– Denver Daily News
