Stomping, shuffling & hollering like a modern-day Howlin’ Wolf, Chris Pierce as the Reverend Tall Tree stands at the crossroads of Blues, Soul, and American Roots music. From there, he channels the raw spirit and emotional gravity of the genre’s golden era into a modern, electrifying live experience.
Whether delivering sermons in a smoke-filled club, a tent revival atmosphere, a classic theater, or from the main stage of a festival, Reverend Tall Tree reaches straight for the core—where rhythm meets testimony and the music still tells the truth. His performances recall the power, urgency, and communion of mid-century Blues and Soul masters, where every note carries weight and every song feels lived in.
Chris Pierce has spent years honing his craft on stages around the world, headlining his own tours while also sharing the road with an extraordinary range of artists, including Neil Young, B.B. King and Allison Russell, among others. His music and unmistakable voice have also found their way into numerous films and television shows, further cementing his reputation as a singular American storyteller.
