“This guy’s a guitar-slinging poet” Nashville Music City News
There is something that distnguishes Grant from the vast, strumming herd of singer/songwriters. His songs and his performances are strictly bereft of cliché and sentimentality. There is never an “ooh baby” in a Grant Peeples song. There are no white picket fences.
His songs bite and twist, turn on a phrase, dig beneath the surface of appearances. He violates the “ No Trespassing” signs, peeks over the backyard fences of the culture. Then he picks up his guitar and lets you know what he’s seen–unapologetically–like a poet would anchor the Six O’clock News.
And you know right away….he’s not making this stuff up.
Once you listen to Grant’s songs, see his performance, the old tobacco barn in that empty field across from your Wal-mart won’t look quite the same as it did before.
Grant tours continuously throughout the year. He’s performed in biker bars and Unitarian Churches, noted venues such as The Bluebird Café in Nashville, The Cactus Cafe in Austin and Eddie’s Attic in Atlanta. He’s played established house concert series such as the Moonlight in Birmingham and Shack in the Back in Miami. He has been a feature performer at the Florida Folk Festival, Springfest, Magfest, and the Sarasota Folk Festival, among others. And he’s opened show for Fred Eaglesmith, Robert Earl Keen, Gurf Morlix, Jack Williams and Roy Zimmerman.
Grant’s third album, “Okra and Ecclesiastes”, produced by Gurf Morlix was released February 2011.
