Compass Records Group recording artist Pierce Pettis brings a wealth of experience from his long musical journey. He’s spent decades touring in 49 of 50 states, as well as Canada and Europe. Hailing from Alabama, he embarked on his career at the renowned Muscle Shoals Sound Studios. His musical contributions extended to Fast Folk Musical Magazine in New York, recording for Windham Hill/High Street Records in Los Angeles, and a decade-long tenure as a staff songwriter for Polygram and Universal Music Publishing in Nashville. Pettis’s songwriting prowess has left an indelible mark with artists like Dion, Art Garfunkel, Garth Brooks, and Joan Baez covering his work. Notable names such as David Wilcox, Tim O’Brien, Dar Williams, and Claire Lynch have also interpreted his songs. His latest album, “Father’s Son,” released by Compass, has garnered widespread critical acclaim. As a performer, Pettis covers a wide range specializing in alternate guitar tunings, harmonica, story-telling and a bit of stand-up —as well as drawing from his extensive catalog of songs and covers.
Barry Gray's family band, Graymatter, is a Triad and Triangle NC favorite, performing 60s and 70s covers and featuring rich harmony vocals. Barry is also a member of the Wes Collins band. In 2018, Barry was awarded a North Carolina Arts Council Artist Fellowship in Songwriting, which led him to record his debut album, Footsteps.
Isabel Valls has been performing since 2010, when she began playing at area open mics. She has released two albums of her original songs under her former name, Taylor: Awake Again (2016) and Isabel Taylor (2019). Both albums secured the 15th spot on the Folk Radio chart.
The two met through the active NC music scene and were drawn together by their shared love of acoustic music and vocal harmony. They recently released their first album, Carnival Ride, featuring their original songs.
