While I haven't written about Adrienne Pierce in some time, she has been an artist I have followed and enjoyed for some time now. I've come to admire her as a singer and songwriter, but also as a humanitarian for all the causes she has contributed to and supported throughout her lifetime.

Her songs have appeared on major television shows such as Grey's Anatomy, Veronica Mars, The Hills, Dirt, Army Wives etc. Adrienne has toured extensively all over North America and the UK, including stops at festivals like SXSW, NXNE, CMW, and NMW and the Toronto Film Festival.

This month she has released a new EP, simply titled Winter. It includes six tracks, all which exemplify the awesomeness of this time of year; both the season and the holidays. Like with all the albums Adrienne Pierce has released thus far, there is an ever appealing honesty and understated quality to each piece.

The third track on the EP is Pierce's dreamy interpretation of Vince Guaraldi's Peanuts staple, "Christmas Time Is Here." You can hear the sleigh bells in the air for sure and the vocals are refreshingly whimsical.

My personal favorite on this EP is "Joy Is Within Reach," while I listen I can't help but hum along to her glorias. The lyrics are endearing and gripping, reminding us all of what this time of year is really all about. The instrumentation is simply a delight; with Pierce's perfectly tweaked guitar strumming matching the overall mood.
