Chris Pierson

Chris Pierson is a solo artist who, like the best of them, turns life's misfortunes into emotionally riveting music. And life can throw a lot of material your way. Chris would know. After dealing with his father's terminal illness, a friend suggested he "write it out"-advice that's done Chris and his listeners heaps of good. After "writing it out," Chris' songs so impressed friends that he found himself booked on an open mike, and from then on life would never be the same.
He pinched his pennies and bought an 8-track recorder, putting together his first CD that, by 2003, saw him weather miles of touring as the energetic and successful artist he always was.
He then moved to Atlanta where he re-invented himself as a darker more mature performer. And though Chris probes deep, he entertains your socks, pants, whatever else you'd like to be removed, off. We thank Chris' friend for telling him to not only write it, but to outstandingly sing it out.
