Grant Peeples

Grant Peeples has been a keen observer of the American condition for five decades, ever since a friend introduced him to the music of Bob Dylan. Through many years on the road, running a night club/music venue in Tallahassee, and after a ten-year stint on an isolated island off the coast of Nicaragua, Peeples turned to writing with a vengeance. He wrote poetry and songs that turned a critical eye on
American culture and identity, the very definition of contemporary folk music.
His music has topped Americana charts in the US and Europe. Grant tours coast to coast, and recently made his debut at The Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas. He has been a repeat performer at The Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, 30A Songwriters Festival, The Gamble Rogers Folk Festival, and The Florida Folk Festival. January 2019 marked a second tour in The Netherlands, where FolkForum.nl described him “…a pure storyteller, in the best American folk tradition…” and his show “…one of
those gems that you will remember for a long time…”
