Chris Pierce Will Release New Album 'American Silence'
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Coming February 26, 2021, Los Angeles soul singer Chris Pierce's new album, American Silence, has already gathered critical acclaim from NPR and Rolling Stone! Ann Powers at NPR wrote twice about the power of Chris' debut single and title track and its effect on her in 2020, saying it's "...the song white allies need to hear because it so beautifully says that loving protest songs isn't enough." Rolling Stone praised the single as well, saying that Pierce "channels Richie Havens and Bob Dylan... It's the sound of everyone who's hungry for change, steadying themselves and marching toward a common goal."

Internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter Chris Pierce stands by the notion that music can cut through the isolated and static feelings for those of us worn down by the chaos of everyday life. He calls out to unite us under one sonic roof to speak up, sing out, rise up and resist with the offering of his new 21st century Americana freedom and justice album titled "American Silence" to be released on February 26, 2021. On the forthcoming LP, Pierce channels legendary justice and freedom songwriters. With sparse acoustic instrumentation and unmistakable soulfully passionate vocals, Pierce creates an authentic sound all his own removed from time or trend.

The full-length LP, "American Silence" soulfully spins original songs about a wide range of issues including justice, oppression, homelessness, black self-love, racism, mass incarceration, Immigrant Transcontinental Railroad workforce, Native American boarding schools, and a tribute to the American statesman and civil rights leader, John Lewis. The self produced album was recorded during a socially distanced session at Boulevard Recording in Los Angeles, California with only Pierce and the studio owner/engineer Clay Blair in attendance. Lead vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica and background choir parts on the album were performed by Pierce.

CHRIS PIERCE recently gained national prominence with "We Can Always Come Back To This". His hit co-write aired on multiple episodes of the #1 NBC primetime series 'THIS IS US', then went on to peak at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart, #12 on iTunes Top 100, and garner nominations for "Best Song/Recording Created for Television" from The Guild of Music Supervisors and The Jerry Goldsmith Awards. In 2020, Pierce's collaboration with artist Sunny War in Americana duo WAR & PIERCE yielded the hit single "Amen". "Amen" was featured on NPR's WORLD CAFE, aired on 250 AAA / NonComm stations and has racked up over 500K spins on Spotify. Look for modern soul man Chris Pierce to impact many of the same strong influencers with 'American Silence' in 202

At age 15, Pierce developed a rare hearing disorder called Otosclerosis that led to the loss of hearing in one ear and partial deafness in the other, a setback that would deter many young musicians forever. The reality, however, fueled Chris' passion and determination all the more, forcing him to re-learn almost everything he had known prior to his condition. To Chris, music was, and still is, an unconditional companion.

Chris has done multiple headlining tours and has also performed on stage with or opened worldwide tours for: Seal, Cold War Kids, B.B. King, Al Green, Sara Bareilles, Rodrigo y Gabriella, Jill Scott, Toots and the Maytals, Colbie Caillat, Buddy Guy, Keb'Mo', Blind Boys of Alabama, Aaron Neville, Jamie Cullum and others. His voice and music have been heard in film and television shows including: This is Us, True Blood, Soundtrack, Crash, Rosewood, Soul Men, Brothers & Sisters, Single Ladies, Eli Stone, In Plain Sight, Dawson's Creek, Army Wives, as well as in national ad campaigns for Lexus and Banana Republic. He also guest appears on a wide range of album recordings as a vocalist, harmonicist and guitarist. He's confirmed for BottleRock Fest in Sept. 2021.
