“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

Hi folks,
I trust you’re surviving the Dog Days in style : ) Just a couple of in-person dates this month —and a livestream during Labor Day weekend in September. As for the in-person shows, the first is a private invitation-only (sorry) house concert in Bristol, VA. But then I hop across the state line to do a co-bill with my old friend, Kate Campbell at Bob Hinkle's "White Horse Black Mountain" in Black Mountain, NC —truly one of the finest music halls in the south!
Later, I’m doing a Labor Day Livestream from my home on Lookout Mountain on September 3rd. After that, I head up the east coast doing dates in NC, the DC area —and all the way to Vermont! More on that next newsletter.
Hope to see you out there, somewhere —Pierce
