My songs "Making Angels" and "Raise Our Voices Up" from my Winter EP are in the film and you can find those songs on itunes, emusic, CD Baby etc. as well. In addition you can get the Winter EP in all the places mentioned above and also here on this site i my SHOP. Signed Copies of Winter are just $5 and come with a download card for the new release "The More The Merrier.

Just click on the artwork below to find Winter on itunes or go to http://www.adriennepierce.com/shop

Two songs from my Winter EP will be on the Hallmark Channel's film "Trading Christmas". One song I co-wrote with Ari Shine called Raise Our Voices Up is featured in the end credits as well as the movie! Making Angels is also in the movie during a snowball fight.

This movie was mentioned in the NY Times last weekend in an article on the resurgence of high quality made for TV movies. 

Frankenstein is a 1910 film made by Edison Studios that was written and directed by J. Searle Dawley. It was the first motion picture adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The unbilled cast included Augustus Phillips as Dr. Frankenstein, Charles Ogle as the Monster, and Mary Fuller as the doctor's fiancée. Shot in three days, it was filmed at the Edison Studios in the Bronx, New York City. Although some sources credit Thomas Edison as the producer, he in fact played no direct part in the activities of the motion picture company that bore his name. Frankenstein is in the public domain, and you can download it here for free: http://www.archive.org/details/FrankensteinfullMovie Monsters is a song by Adrienne Pierce from her album "Oh Deer". You can find this song here:http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/monsters/id381439903?i =381439921

Ok - now Fall is up on itunes. Woo hoo!

You will find the Fall EP here on itunes:

It was in 2005 that I heard the American group Shivaree for the first time. One of their most well-known singles, “New Casablanca,” became the song to which I listened the most that year. Well, actually, it was not really the song in itself that haunted me for months, but rather the voice of Ambrosia Parsley. A voice boasting a rare sensuality and smoothness.

We are now in 2011 and members of Shivaree disbanded four years ago. But the voice is still alive and well, and has been embodied in a Canadian singer and songwriter called Adrienne Pierce for a while.

Many artists spend too much time trying to convince audiences that they are talented. As far as Pierce is concerned, no need to worry; the talent is naturally there. In “Oh Deer,” her third album, she lets it speak through atmospheric tunes that match a beautifully endearing voice and innocent yet poetic lyrics.  

The 12 songs on the CD were written over several years in Paris, Bologna, Death Valley, Kauai, Vancouver, and Los Angeles. However, listening to them is like taking an imaginary and intimate road trip across Canada. Whether it is the catchy “Guilty of Everything” (my personal favorite), the fanciful “Nightswimming” or the made-for-great-TV-show “Winner Takes It All,” her music spans genres and influences in the same fashion as the country boasts diversity of landscapes, people and cultures. And the more you listen to the album, the more you enjoy what it has to offer.  

Pierce reminds me of a younger Kate Bush. While very different in styles, the two artists share a creative intelligence that sets them apart from most of their peers. They are not afraid of using their uniqueness to create music that entertains and makes a lasting impression on listeners.

“Oh Deer” is everything but mainstream. It is the kind of album that will brighten your Sunday mornings and warm your heart in winter. And that is exactly the reason why it is so good.

Hi There I am writing from a cafe in Juneau Alaska where I am meeting with Sarah Palin about writing a song for her campaign.... NO not really. I am just enjoying a coffee and taking a brief break from the amazing scenery to send out a newsletter. I recently played a bunch of shows in Ontario and Quebec as well as a House Concert in Lafayette, IN and a show in Chicago. I then played at an amazing wine festival in B.C. and a wedding in Scranton. In a few days I leave Alaska and head back to Vancouver and then Los Angeles. Here are my upcoming shows....

VANCOUVER I will be playing a show next Tuesday June 28th at The Backstage Lounge on Granville Island in Vancouver. I am on at 9:30 pm opening for Jess Cullen.

Awhile back I launched "Operation Oh Deer" on my website. I sold various items and packages and also offered things like " a concert at your house". I really did not know if anyone would choose the concert option but was really happy when someone did. It was extra special because instead of a house I ended up playing someone's wedding. My performance was a gift from the bride to the groom and it was kept a secret right up until I stepped out of my hiding place and started singing. To make it extra special the wedding was in a beautiful place near Scranton which is the birthplace of my mother in law and also (obviously) the home of Dunder Mifflin. It was a beautiful wedding and it really was an honor to be part of it.

The wine festival in Osoyoos was great. My brother and I did a music and wine pairing at Black Hills Winery. For my last song belly dancers came up and joined me and everyone wanted them to keep dancing (of course) so I asked if one of the other musicians in attendance wanted to come up and play something that was danceable. Oscar Lopez said sure and he was amazing!! I have some photos of him playing my guitar with the beautiful dancers all around him. Then George Canyon came up and played a couple of excellent Johnny Cash covers (on my guitar). I am a big Johny Cash fan and a George Canyon fan too so this was pretty awesome. My guitar thinks it is pretty special now. I will post some photos soon.

The new video for Arc de Triomphe from Oh Deer is now in rotation on Mevio and can be seen here: http://bit.ly/gtntsK 

The video was fimed in Paris and was directed by Allison Beda.

I am currently in Israel and will be playing a show on Tuesday May 12th at Pil Bar in Tel Aviv.

Here is a link to a blog post about the show:

CBC Radio 3 is a very cool radio station that exclusively plays Independent Canadian Music. My song "Museum" from my latest album, Oh Deer, is in rotation on CBC Radio 3. You can listen to many of my songs from all three of my albums, and also become a "fan" on my Radio 3 page right here: http://radio3.cbc.ca/play/band/Adrienne-Pierce/Museum

If you listen to CBC Radio 3 online or on Sirius XM Radio I am sure you will discover a lot of cool music. I listen everyday! :)

If you would like to you can request my song on Radio 3 here: feedback@cbcradio3.com

Thanks and happy listening.

I was very pleased to find Oh Deer on a few Best of 2010 lists. Some of you have told me that it is on your own personal Best of 2010 lists too. Thanks!

I co-produced this album with some talented friends (Jeff Trott, Ari Shine, Marc Wild) and I have put it out on my own little label. It is very nice to see that it is slowly but surely getting out there.

Thanks very much to the following blogs:

I just got back from a fantastic trip to Vancouver. I got to play a few songs before The Great Lake Swimmers played at a beautiful wedding on Salt Spring Island. Then I played with T.Nile and Scott Dunbar at The Railway Club and then played with Leela Gilday (and Tara Holloway and Jackie Valentine) at The Media Club in Vancouver. I got to see and hear so much great music while in B.C. I played on a show called Urban Rush on Shaw TV and I think I will have video of the performance soon that I can share with you. I play October 9th in Beachwood Canyon at The Beachwood song circle.

Hi There

I hope you are all having a great summer. I have been on tour for the  
last couple of weeks with Ari Shine who is out opening for Chris  
Shifflet and The Dead Peasants. I have been singing a few songs with  
Ari at the shows and have really enjoyed travelling to states and  
cities that are new to me and meeting a lot of great people.

I wanted to let you know that my new album, "Oh Deer" comes out August  
17th in Canada and September 21st in the US. It will be available at  
itunes as well as actual retail store.

You can hear songs from the new album here: www.adriennepierce.com

To celebrate the release of "Oh Deer" I am playing shows in Ontario  
and NYC (and more shows will be added soon).

Here...

It is a beautiful day in Brooklyn. Today I was able to catch up a little bit with my friend Tim Bright. He and I wrote Lost and Found and Laundry and Dishes in Brooklyn several years ago. 

I play at the new Knitting Factory in Brooklyn tomorrow night with Ari Shine. We will each be doing a set of our music at 7pm and the show is free.

I have not sent my new CD out to press or radio yet and it will not officially be released until June. I have just sent it to the fans who have ordered it through my website. I did however send it to Wears The Trousers because they asked for it many months ago. They posted a review yesterday that I am rather pleased with. If you are interested I just posted it on the press page here.

I hope you are all enjoying...
