Grant Peeples is a compelling and gritty performer whose fresh, honest, incisive, and eloquent songs will command your attention. He’s an original writer with a strong political awareness, writing for the little guys downtrodden by the world in the rush for ever greater prosperity. Grant Peeples was destined to become a songwriter at the age of 16 when he heard Dylan’s “Girl from the North Country.” He went on to drink in the works of classic country artists such as Lefty Frizzel, Guy Clark, and Merle Haggard. What resulted was a voice that Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange calls "laced with Waits, Cash, & Cohen." And a style that he proclaims “Leftneck.”
