ABOUT ORANGE PEEL
ABOUT ORANGE PEEL
“A rare character.” – The Onion.
Orange peel moses has been a fixture in the Mile High Denver club scene for 20 years. As a musician, he has hit elevated notes on Red Rocks' upper terrace with now-defunct “Best Club DJ” Friends in Stereo for Global Dance Festival. As a stilt performer, he has cavorted onstage with Top 40 pop stars including LMFAO and Will.i.am at world-renowned EDM events like Ultra and Electric Daisy Carnival. As a singing telegram, he has introduced Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper and ambushed local news anchors on live TV. As a music journalist, he has interviewed artists from Steve Aoki to Henry Rollins.
Peele has never been one to shy away from larger-than-life characters roles. He has impersonated Zombie Michael Jackson, Alice in Wonderland's White Rabbit, Pumpkin King Jack Skellington and Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. He performed an uncanny homage to Johnny Cash for years. He even brings a unicorn to life via quad stilts and a silver saddle. Peele is currently plotting a music video for his new Daniel Iyere-produced, insect-infused love song "Butterflies.”

On April 20, 2004, Orange peel delivered his first paid singing telegram. He'd recently bounced a rent check and was living hand to mouth, when his belly dancer roommate suggested he approach the telegram agency she delivered “belly grams” for about work. That agency, as it turns out, had zero barrier to entry. He was offered his first paid gig on his birthday (4/20). Dressed as a cowboy, he serenaded the recipient at her office, including an original he'd co-written in college called “Trespass on my Premises.” Nearly twenty years later, he’s still in the joyful service business, having delivered somewhere north of 4000 to date. About a dozen of those have been immortalized by local TV and news outlets.
Orange peel is celebrating both his Singaversary and UnBirthday April 19 at Archipelago Clubs - subscribe to Orangepeelmoses.com to stay abreast.
