Career
Pierce"s parents were not musicians, although his father used to play the trumpet in his youth, which Pierce did not know. He first tasted mainstream success in the early 1980s, when he began recording with Rick Springfield, who was experiencing a resurgence in popularity due to his hit "Jessie"s Girl". In addition to playing on the studio recordings that followed, he also joined Springfield"s touring band throughout the 80"s and appears in several of Springfield"s music videos from the era.
Using this experience as a launching pad, he began extending his talents to other musicians, and he has since appeared as a session musician on countless albums.
Pierce has recorded a solo album, Guitarland in 1995, by PRA Records.
