Featured Artist:

Chris Pierce
Chris Pierce has taken the music world by storm with his soulful voice and poignant storytelling. In 2023, he was personally chosen by Neil Young to open for his Coastal Tour, a testament to Pierce’s standing among music’s elite. He first gained worldwide recognition with his hit song “We Can Always Come Back to This,” featured in multiple episodes of NBC’s This Is Us. The song climbed to #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart, launching him into the spotlight. Pierce has headlined tours across the globe and shared stages with legends like Neil Young, B.B. King, Steve Earle, Seal, Al Green, and many more.

Pierce’s music has been celebrated for its emotional depth and authenticity, with his 2021 album American Silence receiving critical acclaim from NPR, Rolling Stone, NoDepression, and SiriusXM. PopMatters named it the #1 Best Folk Album of 2021, and the song “Residential School” was included in Folk Alley’s 100 Essential Folk Songs. Despite facing a significant challenge at a young age, developing a hearing disorder that led to partial deafness, Pierce’s passion for music only grew stronger, and he has continued to deliver powerful, socially conscious performances.

His latest album, Let All Who Will, released on September 1, 2023, has already earned praise from NPR, NoDepression, and American Songwriter. In addition to his solo career, Pierce collaborates with Americana/Folk/Soul sensation WAR & PIERCE alongside Sunny War and is a member of the Americana/Roots band Leon Creek. He also makes appearances with the Black Opry Revue, further showcasing his diverse talents.

Dan Hubbard
Hosting the evening is Dan Hubbard, an Illinois-based singer-songwriter who brings over 15 years of experience and seven studio albums to the stage. Known for his heartfelt songwriting and captivating performances, Hubbard’s latest work, Fall in Love Again (Quarantine Lullabies), reflects his deep connection to music and his ability to resonate with audiences through storytelling.
