Pierce Pettis Live at GINKGO coffeehouse

After a lifetime of crafting finely-wrought, heart-touching songs, singer-songwriter Pierce Pettis feels that hes finally found his comfort zone. The biggest change, he says of this point in his career has been getting over myself and realizing this is a job and a craft. And the purpose is not fame and fortune (whatever that is) but simply doing good work.

Getting his first break when Joan Baez recorded 'Song at the End of the Movie' back in 1979, the Alabama born former Nashville staff writer became an integral part of the 80s Fast Folk movement in New York alongside the likes of Shawn Colvin and Suzanne Vega, making his solo debut in 1984 with Moments. Since which time, he's released a further eight albums, of which 1993's Chase The Buffalo and 2001's State of Grace, are particular highlights.
Pierce Pettis doesnt 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!

"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
