Grant Peeples Kicks Off Tour Friday




Grant Peeples, a highly unique singer songwriter who speaks truth to power, celebrates the release of his new CD and kicks off a nationwide tour in his hometown of Tallahassee Friday at the American Legion Hall.

Show starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are $10.  The Sarah Mac Band opens, and dulcimer virtuoso Aaron O’Rourke and violinist Mark Russell will sit in with Peeples to perform songs from the record.

Peeples' last CD, Okra and Ecclesiastes, was a really strong record -- haunting and poetic. It was also a critical success and hit number 20 on the Americana chart.

This new CD is called Prior Convictions.  It’s the second Peeples project produced by Texas roots music icon, Gurf Morlix, known for his work with Lucinda Williams,  Robert Earl Keen, Mary Gauthier, and others.

Grant says this is the only show he'll be playing in Tallahassee this tour, so catch this fine talent this weekend if you can.
