From Musical Family Tree: Today we celebrate the life and work of Stephen Peck (AKA "Speck"), a true beacon of kindness and participation in the Indianapolis art/music community. Our thoughts are with his friends and family in this time of loss. He was an awesome person to know!
Speck was known as a great visual artist and a musical collaborator. Listen to some of his solo work here: http://www.musicalfamilytree.com/band/speck in addition to his recent work with Jessica Albatross (http://www.musicalfamilytree.com/band/jessica_albatross) and Caleb McCoach (http://www.musicalfamilytree.com/band/caleb_mccoach)
R.I.P. Speck

My name is Stephen Peck. I play with a lot of different musicians, but I also write my own stuff and record it from time to time, this is a place to find my current as well as old projects.

That said, the five presenters for Re:Populate, 2014's final 5x5 are: Exploration Indy, Improving the Music Council, Indy Redbud Project, P…

Lawrence was already a pretty music-friendly town, but it’s about to get friendlier. The recently-opened Lawrence Public Library just launched the brand new Sound + Vision Studio. The space boasts a studio full of instruments, including guitars and a C&C ...
