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

“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 Everybody,

No live performances this month. Instead I'll be teaching songwriting & maybe some guitar at Chris Roberts School of Music in Fort Payne, AL. BTW, the late Jeff Cook (of the group, Alabama) helped start the school with a generous donation & technical advice. Mark Herndon (Alabama's former drummer) teaches drums & percussion. It's a first rate teaching & performance facility. So proud to see something like this in the town where I was born & raised. ❤️

Whenever you're in NE AL, come check it out! And meanwhile, have a great New Year!

--Pierce 👍
