"Wouldn't Change It For the World" - Father's Son

F E A T U R E D R E V I E W S

“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"

"...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

“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

Merry Christmas! 🎄 Happy Hanukkah! 🕎

Can’t believe it’s December already! This month I'm doing my usual Florida Christmas Tour, starting w/the 39th Almost Christmas Show with Del Suggs & The Allstars at Theatre Tallahassee. Then I’m playing a special afternoon concert at the Holy Family Senior Center in Apalachicola (public invited). Next, I’m doing Concerts at Wolf Howl in St. Petersburg. And rounding out this year’s FL tour, I’m back with my good friends at Heartwood Soundstage in Gainesville.

And my final concert of the year will be in my own hometown of Mentone, AL at the Mentone Arts & Cultural Center with “Christmas in Mentone!” —which will also be streamed live on my YouTube Channel! (https://www.youtube.com/@piercepettis337/streams). So you can join our audience live in person or via the internet!

And lastly … CHRISTMAS IS STILL COMING!!🎅🎄⛄️ And a great way to get into the spirit of the season is with a copy of “A Very Blue Rock Christmas”… recorded before a live audience at Billy Crockett's Blue Rock Studios in Wimberly, Texas. And featuring Billy Crockett, David Wilcox, Grammy-winner Ruthie Foster, Tom Prasada-Rao, Terri Hendrix, Bob Bennett, Sara Hickman, RJ Cowdery, Beth Wood, my daughter Grace and myself. I’ll have them at live shows until Christmas —and you can order them from my website store at: https://www.piercepettis.com/shop. Supplies are limited, so hurry!

> And for folks in the NE Alabama, SE Tennessee & NW Georgia Triangle, here’s a great Christmas gift idea for the songwriter or guitarist in your family! This January, I’ll be repeating my Songwriting Workshop, followed by an Alternate Guitar Tunings Workshop at Chris Roberts School of Music in Fort Payne, AL. Each workshop consists of four evening sessions. The Songwriting Workshop is $150 *(for 3 sessions —the 4th one is free!) and the Alternate Tunings Workshop is $200. And if you register for both, the price drops to just $300! To reserve a spot for yourself or someone on your list email: crobertsmusic@hotmail.com, call or text (256) 996-1547‬, or email me directly at piercepettis@icloud.com.
