CHRIS PIERCE & FRIENDS🍷 Pre-concert Wine Tasting
2023-11-03 20:00 | The Grand Annex, 434 W. 6th St., San Pedro, CA, 90731
Soulful, bluesy singer-songwriter gaining national attention for his TV soundtrack hits. His recent album, American Silence earned rave reviews from NPR Music, Rolling Stone and many more.
Dubbed “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.

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.
Pierce 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.
🍷Pre-Concert Wine Tasting:
Taste fine wines at select concerts. Free to Grand Vision members at the Friend, Champion, VIP Circle, Arts Advocate, and Performing Arts Patron level – up to two per household, $16 per person for non-members. Wine Tastings are led by professional sommelier, Jean-Philippe Molinari. Concert tickets are required to participate.

Drawing inspiration from an array of artists like Stereolab, Broadcast, Joyce, Air, The Free Design, and Enya, the duo has created a unique sonic tapestry that is nostalgic and extraterrestrial. Teal Pop’s mission is to explore the depths of human emotions through their music.
