"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

late May / early June 2025

Happy Summertime!

Just a couple of dates at the end of May & into June before I start to prepare for a massive tour from mid-July through mid-September. But more on that later.

Meanwhile, I’m heading up to the Great Lakes for 2 shows in Michigan and one in Indiana. First off, I’m back with my good friends at Trinity House Theatre in Livonia, MI. Sharing the stage with me will be my old pal, Jan Krist. (Jan is amazing, BTW, don’t miss her!

After that, I head over to Grand Rapids to do John Sanger’s Sanger House Concert. And finally, I’m doing an outdoor show for Peterson House Concerts on beautiful Cedar Lake, IN. Great time of year to be heading to the “cool, blue North” (as Jesse Winchester used to say)!

Hope to see you out there, somewhere! —Pierce 👍
