tary headed by Gary Macgyver, “Let The Music Flow and Never Let It Stop...” about Gino’s vision of The Music Ranch. We are honored to document our emerging venue and brotherhood of artists, promoters and fans. We were so happy to see our friends with The Shaun Peace Band for the third time at our Summer Breeze 2 Show on July 19th when we welcomed local artists to invade the TMR stage. Thank you, Sam and the Robopimps, for creating the Summer Breeze series at TMR. Thank you to all the people who came out to support The Music Ranch during Native Austin 2014. We also want to thank COUNCIL, the Gathering of the Tribes on July 25th -27th for a beautiful weekend.
Interview with The Shaun Peace Band J How did you find The Music Ranch
and what’s your impression? We found out about The Music Ranch from an Indie Music site which lists venues by city and state. It's called , "Indie on the Move." Our first impression of the Music Ranch was outstanding. The people are extremely friendly, and the sound and stage are set up very nicely. The Ranch has a tremendous amount of space at its disposal which makes it not only a popular venue for regular shows but also for large events, festivals and showcases. We have played at The Music Ranch several times and have always had a great time and experience. The bands, crowd and staff are extremely diverse which creates a very pleasant environment. I can honestly say that TMR is a one of a kind music venue in today's music world. In 2013 the Shaun Peace Band played over 250 shows across the USA and we have yet to see another venue that offers the space, camping options, friendly people and of course great music.

J Tell us about your band mates? The Shaun Peace Band is an Indie Rock band that emerged in early 2013. Shaun Peace is a 30 yr old musician who has been writing and performing since he was 12. Presently, he has Performed in over 35 states across the USA. He has a wide range of music that appeals to many different music listeners. In 2012 Shaun caught the eye of ACDC front man, Brian Johnson, who has proved to be a valuable mentor to the band. His advice and connections opened doors to do a 10 month cross country USA Tour in 2013 which was a tremendous success. Following the tour Shaun made some valuable band additions by picking up Lead Guitarist Mike Gales who played with George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic for many years. The Band also added Drummie Zeb, whose resume includes a 15 year run with the legendary reggae group , "The Wailers." Zeb fol-
lowed up his success with the Wailers by joining country Mega-star Kenny Chesney for several years. The final addition to the band was International bassist Ishmail Bouzidoune who's Moroccan upbringing and worldly sounds proved to be a fantastic addition. The Shaun Peace Band is made up of musicians from all over the world which creates a well balanced and fresh sound.
J What is your touring looking like
this summer? In February 2014 the Band set out on a
