Date: Sunday, June 30
A self-described “tree-hugger that watches NASCAR,” Grant Peeples is known for his axe-sharp socio-political tunes, raucous humor and heart-gigging ballads. That’s the opening of Grant’s bio and I couldn‘t say it better than that! But if you want to know more, watch Who Is Grant Peeples?
Grant is the recipient of the Focus Foundation Award for Creative Excellence, which cited the “humor, compassion and wisdom of his songs,” and their “unflinching social insight and cultural acuity.” Peeples tours coast to coast, and is a regular performer at The Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, the 30A Songwriters Festival, and The Florida, Folk Festival. January 2019 marked a second tour in The Netherlands, where FolkForum.nl described him “…a pure storyteller, in the best American folk tradition…” and his show “…one of those gems that you will remember for a long time…”
Grant’s latest release is A Murder of Songs, produced by Danny Goddard with Elisabeth Williamson. Gurf Morlix, who has produced Lucinda Williams, Mary Gauthier, Ray Wiley Hubbard, Robert Earl Keen, and Slaid Cleaves—has produced five of Grant’s records, including Settling Scores Vol II (2018), and a special release, Bad Wife (2020), a collection of songs written by women songwriters, a tribute to women in the year of the 100th anniversary of women getting the right to vote in the US.
Another of Grant’s songs you may want to watch is The Hanging, with Amy Speace.
