“One of America’s most talented, gifted, and affecting artists.” — American Songwriter
Chris Pierce is a singular American voice—an artist 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 recently gained global attention when he was handpicked by Neil Young to be the special guest opener on Young’s Coastal Tour. His song “We Can Always Come Back to This”—which he co-wrote—was featured in three episodes of NBC’s This Is Us, later reaching #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart and introducing his songwriting to millions worldwide.
Over the course of decades, Pierce has toured extensively as both a headliner and sought-after support act, sharing stages with 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—often just voice, guitar, and an unmistakable presence—are known for their emotional depth and rare intimacy.
Recent highlights include Pierce’s contribution of “Southern Man” to Heart of Gold, a Neil Young tribute album also featuring Eddie Vedder, Brandi Carlile, Fiona Apple, and Steve Earle; several Playing for Change duets with Sara Bareilles, Keb’ Mo’, Sunny War, Daniel Lanois; and a sold-out concert alongside Allison Russell. He has appeared in performance and interview on NPR’s World Café, Mountain Stage, American Folk Show, and more, and has delivered acclaimed sets at Newport Folk Festival, AmericanaFest, Folk Alliance, MerleFest, BottleRock, BeachLife Festival, Calgary Folk Festival,Vancouver Folk Festival, and beyond.
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, while “Residential School” was recognized by Folk Alley as one of the 100 Essential Folk Songs.
Chris Pierce is currently completing work on a highly anticipated new full-length album, slated for release in 2026—a project that continues his lifelong commitment to honest songs, fearless storytelling, and music that meets the moment.
