Donzo

Donzo sounds like a full band who can perform multiple musical genres, take requests, and he creates each song live in front of the audience layer by layer. Over 15 years of experience and professional gear means he comes prepared and self-contained for any event from a private pool party to a festival stage.

Las Vegas musician and guitar teacher “Donzo” Don Peat uses live looping to produce a versatile, full band sound through the masterful use of a loop station, MIDI guitar, drum machine, synthesizer, and other effects pedals. His music is performed live without the aid of backing tracks and is layered with complete drum parts, guitars, keyboards, vocals, and wind instruments. An expert use of dynamics and instrumentation sets Donzo apart from many solo artists, allowing him to accurately recreate the vibe and energy of numerous styles of music.

Drawing inspiration from popular loop artists such as Keller Williams, shows include live improvisation, vocal harmonies, Hendrix-inspired guitar solos and epic cover tunes creating progressive, genre-crossing music unique to the mood of the audience. With more than 200 songs available to request from reggae to rock, funk to jazz, expect Donzo's setlists to be eclectic and full of energy!

Donzo has performed live since 2010 at music festivals in Nevada, California and Colorado, as well as popular venues and private events inside nearly every resort on the Las Vegas strip. You can also find him playing shows at Vegas’ local bars and breweries.

The only things needed for Donzo's services are a source of power and a 6'x6' space for equipment. He is also able to link into any house system.
