“Pierce Pettis doesn’t write mere songs, he writes literature...End to end the songwriting is brilliant...Pierce Pettis albums are events in my listening. His writing just gets better all the time and his singing is marvelous, wry and warm..." -Sing Out!

"...One of the more vital and critically acclaimed folk stars of recent years."

​-Performing Songwriter Magazine



"...all Pettis has to offer is his earnest best, a tender heart, packaged in one three-and-a-half minute song after another."

-Jason Killingsworth, Paste Magazine

​

"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"

-Darrell Scott, songwriter/recording artist

​

"I have loved Pierce's music for many years now-he has the gift of a true inner compass."

-Eliza Gilkyson, songwriter/recording artist

​

 “Sometimes I have to stop listening to a Pierce Pettis track halfway through because he makes me want to give up on songwriting.  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.  All of it completely unfair.”

- Justin Paul, writer/composer "La La Land", "Dear Evan Hansen"

May  2020

 

Afraid there's no dates to report for this month, due to the shut-down.  But in June I get back to work --including dates with my old friend, Dana Cooper!  More about that later.

​

Meanwhile, many kind folks have asked how they can help during the current shut-down by offering to pay for tickets to canceled shows, online concerts, etc. All good, but I wanted to suggest what I feel is the VERY best way to help me & other traveling musicians: HOUSE CONCERTS. Eventually, we will all need to get back to work ... certainly by this summer. And having a couple of extra shows in the calendar (especially mid-week) will do far more good for our finances and morale than anything you can do now. It will give us hope for the future --and we'll all have a great time! So if you or someone you know would like to sponsor a house concert for me or any other wandering minstrel, please check out my blog on this website.

​

Right now, I'm looking for dates pretty much anywhere east of the Rockies from July through August ... and east coast & midwest dates after that, through the end of 2020.  Also booking California and Texas dates for summer of 2021.  If interested, please contact my agent Mary Granata or myself here.

​

Of course, I'll try and keep everyone up to date as things evolve.  Meanwhile, please stay safe and enjoy your time at home.

​

love,  --Pierce

​

PS ... You can order my latest album, "Father's Son" as a physical copy or download here.  Great for at-home listening : )
