“One of America’s most talented, gifted, and affecting artists.” — American Songwriter
Chris Pierce is a singular American voice whose songs carry equal parts soul, truth, and grace. Rooted in folk, blues, and Americana, his music speaks plainly and powerfully to the human condition, earning him a reputation as one of the most moving performers of his generation.
Pierce gained global attention when he was handpicked by Neil Young to be the special guest opener on Young’s Coastal Tour. His co‐written song “We Can Always Come Back to This” was featured in three episodes of NBC’s This Is Us, later reaching #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart.
Over decades of touring, Pierce has performed as both a headliner and sought‐after support act alongside Neil Young, B.B. King, Al Green, Steve Earle, Seal, Aaron Neville, Jill Scott, Allison Russell, the Blind Boys of Alabama, and many others. His live performances are known for their emotional depth and rare intimacy. Recent highlights include:
- Contribution of “Southern Man” to Heart of Gold, a Neil Young tribute album featuring Eddie Vedder, Brandi Carlile, Fiona Apple, and Steve Earle - A Playing for Change duet with Sara Bareilles - Sold‐out concert alongside Allison Russell - Appearances on NPR’s World Café, Mountain Stage, American Folk Show - Performances at Newport Folk Festival, AmericanaFest, Folk Alliance, MerleFest, Bottlerock, Calgary Folk Festival, Vancouver Folk Festival, and more
Pierce’s albums American Silence and Let All Who Will received widespread critical praise from NPR, Rolling Stone, Forbes, American Songwriter, No Depression, SiriusXM, The Bluegrass Situation, Americana UK, and others. American Silence was named #1 Best Folk Album of 2021 by PopMatters. Residential School” was recognized by Folk Alley as one of the 100 Essential Folk Songs.
Chris Pierce currently completing recording, mixing and mastering a new full‐length album slated for release in late May of 2026, continuing his lifelong commitment to honest songs, fearless storytelling, and music that meets the moment.
