About Peach Tree Rascals:
A few years ago,a group of high school classmates (Jorge, Tarrek, Dom, Isaac, and Joseph) made a decision that changed the course of their lives. They were doing that classic thing: starting a band. The Peach Tree Rascals were born in a ten-by-ten wooden shed in the backyard of Dom’s house. In that space they recorded now-hits like “Mariposa,” and “Mango.”
Growing up in San Jose, CA, the guys couldn’t have felt further from the epicenter of music. Many of the Rascals are the children of immigrants, and none of their families have ties to the recording industry; in fact, many of their family members were skeptical initially about their newfound pursuit. “Accomplishments like just releasing music felt more like a dream than a reality in San Jose,” Tarrek says.
The pursuit of happiness, whether it’s about the long course of one’s life or something as simple as a reason to smile in the morning, is central to PTR. Jorge says that he thinks of the PTR community “as dreamers like us.” Even when reality feels like a cruel joke, PTR stays looking for reasons to push on positively.
