*****************

Born in Manhattan, raised in Northern California and Geneva, Switzerland, Piers returned to New York in March 2005 to record, perform and teach guitar. His goal as a musician is to combine a fiery, energetic approach with precise technique, a clean old-school tone, utmost respect for the founding geniuses of modern music and a deep love of the Blues.

Piers has worked as a session musician recording hundreds of jingles and record dates. He has also toured with Wilson Picket, The Main Ingredient, Esther Phillips, Phyllis Hyman, and Rainforest Band, among others and his original songs have been recorded by various artists.

In Switzerland, Piers produced an award-winning 31st for French pop legend Marie LaForet and was able to contribute an essential American jazz style to this landmark project for the debut release of a new label owned by TeleFrance Un.
