A self-described  “vegetarian that watches NASCAR, and  tree-hugger with a gun below the seat,”  Grant Peeples is known for his axe-sharp socio-political tunes, raucous humor and heart-gigging ballads.

In 2014 he was the recipient of the Focus Foundation Award for Creative Excellence, which cited the “humor, compassion and wisdom of his songs,” as well as their “unflinching social insight and cultural acuity.” He was a 2016 Finalist in the prestigious New Folk Songwriters Showcase, sponsored by Kerrville Folk Festival.

Third Coast Magazine’s John Conquest says “Peeples is unusually literate, unusually honest. And the only songwriter I have ever called ‘ruthless.’”

Grant has made seven studio records. Including a trilogy produced by Gurf Morlix. His newest record, “A Congress of Treasons,” was released in February, 2016

A love of music has always permeated his life, even though he took a vastly different route and became an attorney.   Throughout these years he always played guitar and wrote music.

His album, Ten Thousand Miles, was produced by Pete Kennedy and Caroline Doctorow, and his music has been played all over the world.   This collaboration on March 20, will feature some originals, some covers, and the total enjoyment of playing with such other talented people.

Evan is on the board of the South Florida Folk Club and still has pursuits which incorporate his legal background.
