His recent album\, American Silence earned rave reviews from NPR Music\, Rolling Stone and many more. \nDubbed “one of the most important American songwriters working today\,” by 88.5 KCSN Los Angeles\, Chris Pierce rose to international prominence when NBC primetime series This Is Us featured his song We Can Always Come Back To This. The single then reached #1 on the Billboard Blues chart and was nominated for several awards. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n With his raw acoustic accompaniment and his unmistakably heartwrenching vocals\, he aims to unite his listeners\, inspiring them to rise up and stand for what is right. \nPierce was diagnosed at 15 with Otosclerosis\, a rare hearing disorder that caused him to lose his hearing in one ear and become partially deaf in the other. In spite of this\, his passion for music only grew and inspired him to dig deeper in his skills. Thanks to his determination\, he has had the honor of performing with many incredible artists including Al Green\, B.B. King\, Aaron Neville and Seal\, and will be on tour this fall with Neil Young. \n🍷Pre-Concert Wine Tasting: \nTaste fine wines at select concerts.
