Grant Peeples CD Release Show with Chris Skene & Erik Alvar

Grant joins with special guests Erik Alvar and Chris Skene to present songs from his tenth album, Settling Scores, Vol. II. The show takes place at The Junction@Monroe on Saturday, January 27th at 8 pm.

In an interview, Grant cites the social and political upheaval caused by the last presidential election, and responds with “I feel like I was born for times like this…to make a record like this…”  There are several songs inspired by the current political climate (Pitchforks and Torches, It Could Be a Long Night, More for Us, Less for Them). But the record is more than that. There is also a love song that could be the basis and theme for an indie art film (Liliana), a cover of Steve Earle’s poignant ‘Goodbye‘, and a rewrite of a 13-minute Bob Dylan tune (The New Brownsville Girl). As is his way, Grant’s earthy vocals vibrate between ominous foreboding, poetic longing and satire that makes one laugh out loud. Settling Scores Vol. II is his tenth release since 2008, and previews from those who know his catalog call this record his most accessible yet.

The Junction@Monroe is located at 2011 S. Monroe St. in Tallahassee. The show starts at 8 pm. Food and drinks available at the venue. Tickets are $10 and may be bought at the door. For more information, visit www.junctionatmonroe.com and www.grantpeeples.com
