SUMMARY:Pierce Pettis
DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter Pierce Pettis has earned a devoted following over the decades with his poetic lyrics\, distinctive voice\, and deeply personal songwriting. A former member of the famed “Fast Folk” movement in New York and a writer at Muscle Shoals’ legendary Fame Studios\, Pettis was has spent a lifetime crafting heartfelt\, finely-wrought songs. Harkening back to the days of original folk revival\, his songs were featured in albums from the likes of Joan Baez\, and recently his works have been recorded by artists such as Garth Brooks and Art Garfunkel. He has released critically acclaimed albums featuring collaborations with top-tier musicians and producers. Lauded by artists like Dar Williams and Indigo Girls\, Pettis continues to captivate audiences with performances that blend southern roots\, folk storytelling\, and emotional depth. \n“Pierce Pettis bares a gentle soul with a keen eye\, a soulful voice\, and perfect guitar accompaniment for his beautiful songs – a masterful poet treasure.”  – Darryl Scott \n\n“Pierce is a master musical storyteller\, delivering human truth and heartbreaking vulnerability with every tune. He’s also an unnecessarily virtuosic guitarist with the voice of some beautiful angel who also happens to be your old\, familiar friend.”\n  – Justin Paul (Grammy/Oscar/Tony/Emmy-winning lyricist/composer\, “La La Land”\, “Dear Evan Hansen”)\n\n \n“Unlike a lot of his contemporaries\, singer-songwriter Pierce Pettis doesn’t belong to the ‘me generation.’  He’s more likely to sing of his surroundings than himself\, and frequently draws on his Southern background for inspiration and color.” – Washington Post
