Featured Artist of the Week: Pepper

This week's Featured Artist, Pepper, is a great example of a band that has worked really hard to become one of the biggest acts in their genre. Rock for Hunger' Executive Director, Chris Goyzueta, has had the pleasure of speaking with them at one of their shows earlier this year and has since been an avid follower of the band. I have even caught him singing some Pepper tunes while driving in his car.

To refresh everyone's memory. Here are those interviews:







Pepper will be playing in St. Augustine tonight at the cleverly titled "St. Augustine Amphitheater." Be sure to check them out if you can make the drive. Check out their music on their Myspace at: http://www.myspace.com/pepperlive
