"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

late March/April 2025

Hi Folks,

End of March, I’m heading west to Nebraska doing Concerts in the Clubhouse in Bennington (on the north side of Omaha).

Then in April I head even further west to Colorado, returning to Swallow Hill Music in Denver to teach workshops in both Songwriting and Alternate Guitar Tunings. The two workshops are intended for either novice or expert —and include TONS of free materials to keep songwriters and guitarists going long afterwards 😉

Also at Swallow Hill Music, I’ll be back for another concert in Tuft Theatre. After that I’m back with my pals, Coleen & Mark, doing their “Paths of Heart” house concert series in Fort Collins —as well as a couple of songs for their Sunday Gathering *(I promise not to smash my guitar this time!)

Hope you guys have a fantastic springtime & I see you out there, somewhere! —Pierce 👍
