She sits at her desk at an architectural firm, buried under paper and phone chords. And she calls home to her answering machine and sings the next sweet harmony she had been thinking of that day.

She digs her hands into the earth. Covering the white of her skin with the black of the soil. Still Anxious to get home and pick up her six string.

To go with the many demos and unfinished works laying around on a shelf somewhere, Adrienne Pierce is releasing her first full length album this March, called Small Fires.

With a degree in psychology from the University of British Columbia hanging on her wall, the alarm sounds and Adrienne Pierce is out the door five minutes later. Only to remember where she is running to as her legs question which street to go down. She runs her errands for the day and is off to a bar that night to play her 378, or was it her 412 show.

Like most girls, she grew up playing – or trying to play at least – the piano and the flute. Nothing except a few broken ear drums came from it. But years later after graduating from University, she dawdled in English and Interior design when she started obsessing herself with writing songs.

With a few lessons and encouraging words from the acknowledged Luke Doucet from Veal, Adrienne had the gleam in her heart. So one night she played a set on an old ferry converted into a ship, along with a line of women that was appropriately called, Girls Rock The Boat.

The manager of the show asked Adrienne to come back for the following Friday and it has been a desire for her ever since.

Supporting her on the album are; Sean Ashby on backing guitar who has played with Jack Tripper and Sarah McLachlan, Ray Garaway on drums who is currently on tour with the Rascalz, Niko Friesen also on drums who has played with Lily Frost, Darren Parris on bass who was formerly with Bocephus King and the Rigellatos, Craig Ducommon on keyboards from Springer Ducommun along with Mary Ancheta who is currently with Lily Frost.

In between her concoctions invented late at night under the guidance of her juicer, her bad cooking, – ironic when she comes from a family of chefs – reading, and those phones calls you made to her that she always returns, Adrienne will be distributing her long awaited album and planning a tour for this summer.
