Pierce Pettis, adored by both critics and public alike, is one of this generation's
most masterful songwriters. His music is distinguished by his uncanny ability
to capture universals in human experience by drawing on the humor and trials
in daily life. Pettis' music can simultaneously pull on our hearts and keep us
laughing. The beautiful harmonies, inventive yet subtle percussion, strong guitar,
and Pierce's rich vocals are a constant throughout his body of work. Tom Kimmel is one of those unique singer-songwriters whose heartfelt artistry with words and music is both genre-crossing and timeless. Since 1980, when his songs were recorded by Roger McGuinn & Chris Hillman (of Byrds fame) and Levon Helm (of The Band), dozens of his compositions have been covered by a host of major artists including Linda Ronstadt, Johnny Cash, Joe Cocker, Shawn Colvin, Waylon Jennings, the Stray Cats, Randy Travis and the Spinners. Tom’s unique ability to write songs that connect stems from his lifelong career as a touring performer. |
