Neil Young pulls from his extensive catalog performing songs he’s rarely played live across his career.

Chris Pierce gained national prominence with “We Can Always Come Back To This”. His hit co-write aired on 3 episodes of the #1 NBC primetime series ‘THIS IS US,’ then went on to #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart. Pierce has done worldwide headlining tours and has performed with: B.B. King, Seal, Al Green, Allison Russell, Colbie Caillat, Rodrigo y Gabriella, Jill Scott, Keb’Mo, Blind Boys of Alabama, Aaron Neville & others. His recent album, ‘AMERICAN SILENCE’ garnered critical acclaim from NPR, Rolling Stone, NoDepression, SiriusXM, The Bluegrass Situation, AmericanaUK, Acoustic Guitar and others. PopMatters named ‘AMERICAN SILENCE’ THE #1 Best Folk Album of 2021.
​
2022 highlights included a solo concert at The Kennedy Center, a duet with Sara Bareilles, a Super Bowl commercial with Miley Cyrus & Dolly Parton, a sold-out Troubadour show with Allison Russell, and performance/interviews on both NPR’s WORLD CAFE and MOUNTAIN STAGE broadcast to 300 NPR affiliates. Stellar performances at Newport Folk, Folk Alliance, Four Corners Fest, Kerrville Folk, & NC Folk Festivals brought further acclaim.

​At a young age, Pierce developed a rare hearing disorder called Otosclerosis that led to the loss of hearing in one ear and partial deafness in the other, a setback that would deter many young musicians forever. The reality, however, fueled Chris’ passion and determination all the more, forcing him to re-learn almost everything he had known prior to his condition. To Chris, music was, and still is, an unconditional companion.

In addition to his solo career, Chris Pierce is a frequent radio co/host on SIRIUS XM – Prisms the Sound of Color, and performs/records with both Americana/Folk/Soul sensation War & Pierce with Sunny War, & the Americana/Roots band Leon Creek as well as doing frequent appearances with the Black Opry Revue. He also is a Professor of Music, specializing in music business & songwriting and has penned a “Blues Opera” for stage to boot. Pierce is slated to release a full band studio album recorded at legendary Sunset Sound this summer (2023) with the first Americana/Roots/Blues single “45 Jukebox” out now.
