| Chris Pierce announces Tour Dates Acclaimed Folk, Rock and Soul vocalist Chris Pierce will be heading out for a west coast tour along with tour mates Charlotte Martin and Andrew Paul Woodworth and will appear at 12 Galaxies, San-Francisco on December 7. After opening for SEAL throughout the US and Europe this summer, California underground music legend Chris Pierce returned to the West Coast just in time to promote his latest release, Static Trampoline. He mixes his coffee-rich voice and positive message with elements of soul, reggae, blues, folk and rock, placing him among today’s best singer songwriters. Static Trampoline is already being compared to classic recordings from Bill Withers, Jimmy Cliff, Van Morrison, and Otis Redding. Billboard magazine states that there is no discounting Bill Withers influence on a string of contemporary artists, including Chris Pierce, Raul Midon, and John Mayer. Static Trampoline contains the single, “Are You Beautiful, " and was featured on the soundtrack for this summer’s blockbuster film, Crash starring Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle and Matt Dillon. In addition, the song was the theme for Banana Republic’s ad campaign for the Bravo's hit series Project Runway. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
