Soul-folk songwriter draws comparisons to Bill Withers and Sam Cooke, Dec. 07, 7:30 p.m. at BlueShore at CapU. Tickets are $37.
Americana and folk music singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Chris Pierce released his latest album Let All Who Will in 2023, the same year he was handpicked by Neil Young to open the sold-out Neil Young Coastal Tour. Pierce’s record received huge critical acclaim from NPR, No Depression, American Songwriter, and more, with the beautiful and thrilling song, “We Can Always Come Back to This,” reaching #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart.
Pierce has toured and performed on stage with other greats, including Steve Earle, Allison Russell, B.B. King, Seal, Blind Boys of Alabama and Aaron Neville.
Blessed with a dynamic range and expression that rivals Al Green (with whom he’s also performed), it’s nearly impossible to conceive that Pierce lost much of his hearing as a child. But it’s only added to his drive and commitment to share his music with his audiences as he wins them over, song by song.
At the BlueShore at CapU, expect Pierce to introduce some new songs from a just-recorded upcoming album.
