Grant Peeples
Prior ConvictionsI'm a vegetarian that watches NASCAR, a tree-hugger that keeps a gun under the car seat.
So goes the introspection of Grant Peeples. This finger-in-your-eye styled songwriter, seventh generation Floridian and former ex-patriot, began his improbable touring career (“from Hells Angels biker bars to Unitarian Churches”) on his 50th birthday. “It’s never too late to change your major,” he says.
His 2011 release, Okra & Ecclesiastes, produced by the legendary Gurf Morlix, garnered critical acclaim, and top rankings on the Folk, Roots and Americana radio charts. John Conquest, of Third Coast Music Magazine says “Grant Peeples is the only songwriter I have ever called ‘ruthless.’
