He’s also an unnecessarily virtuosic guitarist with the voice of some beautiful angel who also happens to be your old, familiar friend.  All of it completely unfair.” - Justin Paul, writer/composer "La La Land", "Dear Evan Hansen"  "...all Pettis has to offer is his earnest best, a tender heart, packaged in one three-and-a-half minute song after another." -Jason Killingsworth, Paste Magazine Joining Pierce will be an emerging young duo of songwriters that perform in a southern hip hop style of music, Cash and Dobby, the mainstay founding members of the group "Soul Karnival ".
