VIDEO PREMIERE: Leon Creek "High Hopes"
Chris Pierce is an Americana/blues-based singer-songwriter, educator, and wine producer who's won acclaim for his work over two decades. His 2021 "American Silence" release was a compelling indictment of our society's failures and a fixture on my "Sunday Supper" playlist. In 2016 he formed a duo, War and Pierce, with fellow musician-activist Sunny War. His most recent side project, Leon Creek, teams him with the producer and multi-instrumentalist Erik Janson and guitarist Matthew Stevens. Their new single, "High Hopes" is the ebullient credo of a touring musician ("I'll be here for the long run"). Enjoy this exclusive video premiere from the New Folk Initiative.
