Chicago-based singer-songwriter Pierce Crask, drawing from influences such as Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, John Prine, Bob Dylan, Greg Brown, and Chris Smither, has been entertaining audiences professionally as a solo performer since 1999.
He released his debut solo album, The Road To Millstadt, in 2007, and the follow-up Black Label in 2008. 2012 saw the release of Live at The Shaved Duck to great fan and audience response.The Pierce Crask Instrumental EP was released in 2015, featuring 6 string, 12 string, nylon string, and resonator guitar, and its companion piece, a 5-song self-titled EP, was released in 2018.
For 2023's "Rising River" album, Pierce was fortunate enough to work with acclaimed Chicago producer and musician Ellis Clark, who assembled a group of some of Chicago's finest musicians: Marc Edelstein on upright bass, Heath Chappell on drums, Tom Linsk on keys, Mike Conroy on pedal steel, Ron Haynes on flugelhorn, and Brent Roman on percussion. This latest 10-song collection is also his first available on vinyl!
Pierce's schedule takes him all over the U.S., in addition to many performances in and around his home base of Chicago.
