Color Blind is the 2nd single to be released from Blake’s upcoming debut release.
About I Color Blind I wrote this song in either 1989 or ’90. It was originally written on guitar with a real jazzy feel. It was a reflection of what I saw around me at the time and all the news from around the world about race and sexual orientation issues. I wrote it to try and open the eyes of those who do the bashing, to open the eyes of all races and creeds as it is not just one race or gender that causes cultural clashing. I speak from experience but if you want to know more about that then you better get to know me first!
And by ‘everything,’ I don’t mean material possessions, money or a big house.
My parents, David and Judith, celebrate their Golden Wedding Anniversary today. Fifty years of sticking together through thick and thin, through good times and bad. And they have everything that I consider to be the important stuff; huge hearts, gratitude, humbleness, a giving attitude, unconditional love for their family and friends and the wisdom to work through whatever life throws at them.
Holed up at home for the foreseeable future, we can’t celebrate this important milestone in the way we intended. But last autumn, we made a music video together. Unusual, I know! I don’t know many musicians who have done this but my song, Take me out in Your Old Bread Van, was written about their relationship.
When they were courting, many moons ago, my dad used to take my mum out in his old bread van, with a rocking chair for a passenger seat. It must have been a rocky ride for sure – but he knew how to show her a good time.
They also got married on April Fool’s day – before Midday. I love their complete lack of superstition. And it was certainly no prank as here we are, 50 years later, celebrating their love with a burst of color, love and lots of happiness.
I invite you to join with me today, in celebrating not only their lasting love but the love we can share with everyone who is precious to us at this time.
Who is special in your life? Write back and tell me something you love about them. Let’s fill our thoughts, conversations, and actions with L O V E today!
Much love and respect always, Elfin Bow xx

It is with great pleasure that PeacockSunrise Records (PSR) can finally announce the addition of US singer-songwriter-musician Blake to its family of musicians. Blake’s music is a breath of fresh air as it promises to offer up something special both musically and artistically.
Blake debuts the first single The Downfall from his upcoming debut release which is due to hit the streets later this year.
Blake is not new to the music scene, has a long successful history in music with a wide range of influences spanning all genres. His favorite styles of music are those that showcase drive and talent. Writing in styles from folk to classic prog, hard rock/heavy metal to post-punk and new wave, Blake will take you on a journey beyond the imagination.
“I am looking forward to coming back and releasing something on my own again. No constraints, no drama just me, myself and I with fingers on keys and voice in the mic, oh, and sticks in the hand even though I am only hitting a Yamaha DD50. This album “Living Futures Past”, which is still a working title, will feature songs I had written many ages ago with a modern touch but still sounding very retro. Some of the songs and lyrics on this album were written in the ’80s, yes the ’80s. I am making an album that should have been made 30 plus years ago when I was trying to be a rock star instead of just being me. Who knows where I would have ended up had I made better decisions!” Blake
We look forward to working with this talented artist, Blake creates music from his heart and soul, music that is honest and fun, music that makes us feel good. Nick Katona President of PeacockSunrise Records
Last night I made an official start to the process that will be my next album…recording guide tracks at The Music Mine Studios, with Peter Footitt.
To do something properly takes an immense amount of thought, planning, time and attention to detail. Over the last year, I have carefully crafted new songs for you – which will develop even more as I go through the production process – testing them out live with different musicians and in a wide variety of settings.
My aim this year is to make bold creative choices and to really step into who I want to be as an artist. This is what I love doing THE most in the world, and I assure you I will be doing everything I can to give you my best work yet.
Soon I will be revealing ways that you can come along for the ride. For now, though, I just want to say that I know you’ve got my back…your endless support, love, and encouragement means the world to me. Xxx
The new single from the upcoming debut album “Bullet Train” due for release in mid-2020.
So here’s the deal, the band has about 16 or more tracks in the can, but only 10 to 12 tracks will fit on the LP/Vinyl release, so the band is digitally releasing one new track at a time per week while the previous song becomes a ghost track, this will continue until ALL the possible album tracks have been released.
This has never been done before and this means you will want to purchase each new track as they are released or you may miss out, not all the tracks will end up on the album, only the ones that are most popular by spins and sales or band favorites, this means anyone that has purchased all the tracks will have their own personal bonus tracks, this means each fan’s album will be unique.
*Note: Each song features many different guest musicians to create something special and unique.
We hope you will join us in the celebration of the upcoming new release Bullet Train by Joe Mac’s American Garage
Sheverb is heading to Bombay Beach, California to write and record an album while residing in this remote desert locale for the month of February. Five members of this womxn-led, collectively run, a psychedelic desert rock band from Austin, TX will participate in this experiment while living together and performing throughout the greater Salton Sea area. At the end of the month, Sheverb plans to have a full-length album of new, original material that combines the Southern California 1950’s surf rock sound with distinctly Texan and psych-rock flavors.
On their last tour, Sheverb stumbled into Bombay Beach, a surreal place with a fascinating history. Developed in the 1950s on the (accidentally) man-made Salton Sea, this once-thriving resort town has been largely abandoned by the 1970s. They fell in love with the psychedelic, retro, post-apocalyptic vibes of this land and promised to return. On January 31, their journey back begins.
If you’d like to financially contribute to this experimental project, Sheverb is accepting donations on Venmo at @sheverb and PayPal at Sheverbtheband@gmail.com. Every dollar donated will go towards the band’s living expenses while creating the album or post-production costs. While any amount is appreciated, there are two current unique offers:
● To get your name printed on Sheverb’s tour van, donate $100 before midnight Sunday, January 12, 2020.
● To be listed as Executive Producer on the Sheverb in Bombay Beach album, donate $500 before midnight on February 29, 2020.
Born on a high desert wind, Sheverb is a womxn-led, collectively run, a psychedelic desert rock band based in Austin, TX. Armed with their instruments, the Ladies of Reverb are out to challenge our understanding of the romanticized Wild West with their peyote-fueled, surf-infused sound. In the past year, Sheverb crowdfunded a vinyl EP, signed to PeacockSunrise Records, completed two successful tours of the Southwest, and created a “smoldering sound [that] matches Texas heat in a big way” (The Austinot).
Now for something completely different by Joe Mac’s American Garage and PeacockSunrise Records
We are thrilled to announce that Bullet Train is the Title of Joe Mac’s American Garage debut album due for release in 2020. We thought long and hard on how we can make this a very special release. So here’s the deal, the band has about 16 or more tracks in the can, and only 10 to 12 tracks will surface on the physical release.
What makes this release completely different than any other release we have done or anyone else for that matter?
Bullet Train will be released digitally one track at a time, and only one song per week till all the tracks have been released, these tracks will only be available on Bandcamp for this version of the release. Here is where it gets tricky, we are doing something that has never been done before.
Wewill be releasinga new track each week from Bullet Train, and each new track will replace the previously released track from the week before. This will be done until all the possible album tracks have been released.
This means you will want to purchase each new track as they are released or you may miss out, not all the tracks will end up on the album, only the ones that are most popular by spins and sales or band favorites, this means anyone that has purchased all the tracks will have their own personal bonus tracks, this means each fan’s album will be unique.
We hope you will join us in the celebration of the upcoming new release Bullet Train by Joe Mac’s American Garage

Track Listing: 1. Take Me Out in Your Old Bread Van 2. Miles Away 3. Mother Said
Watch Take Me Out in Your Old Bread Van now!
About: For her first release with PSR, Elfin Bow (Elizabeth Anne Jones) is unapologetically celebrating the strange bedfellows that are Joy and Tragedy, with three original songs that tell of great love, and the cracks that both promise, and threaten, to break that love wide open.
Take Me Out in Your Old Bread Van (Time) With an accompanying video, reminiscent of full technicolor, DIY 1970’s children’s TV shows, Elfin Bow joyfully reminisces about the days when her parents used to date in an old bread van, dreaming of a large family and a rosy future. A timely launch to mark her parent’s 50th wedding anniversary, this up-beat, banjo-driven song is sure to bring a wide smile with every listen.
Miles Away (Time) That moment when you are right next to someone but may as well be a million miles away. Elfin Bow’s desolate piano and haunting harmonies wash wave after wave of tragical lyrics over a waltz that threatens to break your heart, unless…
Mother Said (Time) Described as ‘lyrically astute’ by Shindig Magazine, wordsmith Elfin Bow, takes us on a journey from the knowing look of a newborn to the aging lines of life, long-lived, in this tale of a mother’s deep intuitive wisdom gifted to her daughter.
Recorded at The Music Mine Studios by Peter Footitt, with production mix and mastering by Gary Lloyd, this release was produced by Gary Edward Jones and Elfin Bow. Featuring on the EP are Daniel J. Logan (percussion), Jon Fellowes (bass), Tom Kitching (fiddle, mandolin), Terry Clarke-Coyne (flute, vocals), Tracey Green (vocals) and Elfin Bow (guitar, piano, banjo, and vocals.) Cover artwork by Elfin Bow, photography by Victor Pennington and design by Tom Woollam.
“Elfin Bow has been making waves within the modern folk scene over the last year and is now releasing her debut three-track EP for PeacockSunrise Records. With songs showing her diverse musical style and wonderful storytelling ability. Her songs are wonderfully inclusive, dynamic, folky, poptastic and basically a load of fun. Just hearing her music always makes me smile, makes me feel warm inside, and somehow always makes me feel loved. No-one else exists, Elfin Bow is talking just to me, telling her stories in her own intimate way, making for a very special listening experience indeed.” Kev Rowland, music reviewer and author of The Progressive Underground.
It is with great pleasure that PeacockSunrise Records (PSR) can finally announce the addition of UK Psych-roots folk pop artist Elfin Bow to its family of musicians. Elfin Bow truly is unique and offers up something very special both musically and artisticlly. We look forward to introducing this talented artist to an audience that embraces quality music drawn from the heart, music that inspires and gives us hope, music that just makes us feel good. Nick Katona President of PeacockSunrise Records
Elfin Bow’s music has been described as a fairy tale experience; pastoral psych-folk, deeply rooted in the life and nature that surrounds her. Her self-penned songs and stories weave a tapestry that combines mysterious characters, myths, and legends, with the heartache and adventure of real life. With imagery that blends her twin passions of music and art, her songs and stage presence exude color, charisma and a gentle charm.
In a statement from Elfin Bow? Peacock Sunrise Records is a label that puts the artist at the centre of everything they do, encouraging full and authentic creative expression. Joining the PSR family is a truly exciting opportunity to take my music to an international audience.
