A self-proclaimed “LeftNeck,” and “tree-hugger that watches NASCAR,” Grant Peeples is a folk singer in the tradition of Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Billy Bragg. His concerts ring with laughter and applause and moments of contemplative silence. Stage 33 (Bellows Falls VT) described him as “darkly hilarious and deadly serious, often at the same time." The late American author and journalist T.D. Allman cited “the humor, compassion and wisdom of his songs,” and their “unflinching social insight and cultural acuity.”

He lived as an expatriate on a small island off the Miskito Coast of Nicaragua for eleven years where he installed the island's first flushing toilet, rescued sea turtles, and built an eco-resort and dive shop. Upon his return to the US in 2006, he experienced a homeland whose changes bordered on futuristic. Much of what he writes about today is informed by that experience.

He has produced 14 studio albums of mostly original songs, 5 of which were produced by iconic Roots producer/performer Gurf Morlix. His 2023 release rated #16 on No Depression’s Readers Poll of the Top 20 Roots Music Albums of the Year. He is currently touring in support of a new release, Code to Live By, which the Dean of American Rock Critics, Robert Christgau, praised with his highest A-rating, and called it “the most explicitly leftist album I’ve come across in far too long.”

Grant tours coast to coast and is a repeat performer at Kerrville Folk Festival, the Woody Guthrie Festival, Antlers & Acorns Songwriters Festival, Moccasin Creek Music Festival, and The Florida Folk Festival, among others. FolkForum.nl described him “…a pure storyteller, in the best American folk tradition…” and his show “…one of those gems that you will remember for a long time..."
