Making a Scene Brings you an Interview with Derrick Dove and the Peacemakers

After playing hundreds of shows a year for more than a decade, Derrick Dove & the Peacekeepers released their first album to critical acclaim in 2018. The self-titled album reached #5 on the iTunes blues charts and had 5 songs chart in the top 100 in 4 different countries!

Touring non-stop for the past 5 years, through personal struggles, through covid, through highs & lows, they are back with a new album!

“Everybody has a rough time. Everybody has their own struggles, and sometimes it’s just not that easy to get over ‘em. The past few years have been rough. My fathers death, covid, and everything going on in the world right now. I was struggling for a long time and writing this new album helped me get thru it.” ~says Derrick

‘Rough Time,’ was released in October of 2023 & went #1 in the US & Spain on the Blues Charts! It has also produced 4 #1 blues singles in 9 countries! The album has also garnered almost 4 million streams since its release!
