Alabama-born Pierce Pettis writes and performs folk-style Christian and secular songs. He hit the road and became a member of the “Fast Folk” movement in New York in the mid-1980’s. After releasing one independent solo album, Moments (1984) he signed with High Street Records, a division of Windham Hill. There, he released three albums: While the Serpent Lies Sleeping (1989), Tinseltown (1991), and Chase the Buffalo (1993).

Pettis was a staff songwriter for PolyGram from 1993-2000. When his High Street contract ended, Pettis signed to Compass Records where he has released Making Light of It (1996), Everything Matters (1998), State of Grace (2001), and Great Big World (2004). Garth Brooks, Susan Ashton, Dar Williams, and Art Garfunkel are among the artists who have also recorded Pierce Pettis’s songs.
