For over a decade Grant and I have been trying to align the stars for a backyard concert and they finally moved for us.
From the first time that I heard Grant I was a fan. His intelligent lyrics and warm welcoming person is delightful, like a long time friend. Grant has no pretense other than to entertain and hopefully make the audience think.
Once again I would like to welcome everyone to my home. Bring a comfortable chair and join in a relaxing afternoon full of friendship, music and a few poems from Grant's noggin!
Glades' Edge House Concerts is located in West Sunrise close to Sawgrass mall.
As always we will begin with a potluck (optional) at 3 PM, Music at 4 PM.
Suggested donation: $20

A self-described “tree-hugger that watches NASCAR,” Grant Peeples is known for his axe-sharp socio-political tunes, raucous humor and heart-gigging ballads.
He is the recipient of the Focus Foundation Award for Creative Excellence, which cited the “humor, compassion and wisdom of his songs,” and their “unflinching social insight and cultural acuity.” Grant tours coast to coast and is a repeat performer at The Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, the 30A Songwriters Festival, and The Florida Folk Festival. In June 2023 he made his debut at the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival.
He has been a keen observer of the American condition for five decades, ever since a friend introduced him to the music of Bob Dylan. Through many years on the road, running a night club/music venue in Tallahassee, and after a ten-year stint on an isolated island off the coast of Nicaragua, Peeples turned to writing with a vengeance. He wrote poetry and songs that turned a critical eye on American culture and identity, the very definition of contemporary folk music.
January 2019 marked a second tour in The Netherlands, where FolkForum.nl described him “…a pure storyteller, in the best American folk tradition…” and his show “…one of those gems that you will remember for a long time…”
