CHRIS PIERCE: SINGER SONGWRITER


I CAN HEAR YOU, the 4th studio album out 10/11/2011 for Pierce. The California native brings to us his exceptional soulful voice and heartfelt songwriting in his latest album. He expresses pain, sorrow, hope, joy and freedom, all in a single album with musical variety. 

Pierce has toured with BB King, Seal, Colbi Caillat, Al Green, Toots & The Maytals, and Robert Cray to name a few.  His music has been featured on various TV shows, movies and has had commercial value with Bananna Republic and Project Runway ad campaigns.

At the age of 15 Chris lost his hearing in one ear due to Otosclerosis, a rare hearing disorder.  Not sure the Title has anything to do with the hearing loss. The song “I Can Hear You” is more on the order of a lost love.

His song “Meet Me In The Vineyard” may have something to do with the fact that he is co-owner of the wine label “Ledbetter Dry Creek Valley Syrah”. His song “Thunder of The Rain” references to sometimes I cannot hear the thunder of the rain, but can feel it. All of the tracks on the album seem to reference parts of his life in subtle heartfelt ways. His musicality is not only a joy to listen to, but has depth and feeling in each and every song.
