Songs for the Heavy Hearted by Chris Pierce (August 21, 2026)
Los Angeles singer/songwriter Chris Pierce recently shared his new single “Madonna of the San Joaquin”, which spotlight on immigrants in America. The song comes from his forthcoming album Songs for the Heavy Hearted (available August 21).
Pierce on the new single
We should celebrate the diversity of our country; not instill fear in the people whose labor helps sustain our communities while they seek a better future for their families. ‘Madonna of the San Joaquin’ is a direct challenge to the hypocrisy of those who invoke scripture and morality while turning their backs on the vulnerable, and even participating in their mistreatment.
Sometimes, we’re going to get beaten and broken, but, even if you fire, arrest or threaten to imprison us, we’re going to pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off and start again the next day. I’m still going to be out there moving forward with my voice, harmonicas and guitar in hand.
