Pierce Pettis

Pierce Pettis became a member of the “Fast Folk” movement in New York in the mid-1980’s. He released one independent solo album, Moments (1984) before signing with High Street Records, a division of Windham Hill. There, he released three albums. His relationship with producer Mark Heard transcended Pettis' recordings. After Heard’s untimely death in 1992, Pettis committed to including a song of Heard’s on every one of his own albums, a practice that continues to this day.
Pettis was a staff songwriter for PolyGram from 1993-2000. Later, he released four albums with Compass Records. Pierce Pettis’ songs have been recorded by many stellar artists including Dar Williams, Garth Brooks, and Art Garfunkel.
In 2013, New Agrarians -- Songs & Stories of the Southland was released, a co-effort by Pierce Pettis, Kate Campbell & Tom Kimmel. piercepettis.com
