His gritty and orchestral guitar style and composer's touch has shaped the sounds of recordings by bands including Mushroom, University of Errors (with Daevid Allen of Gong), Sonya Hunter, Alice Bierhorst, , Irene Sazer, Pat Thomas, Nearly Beloved, and Billy Talbot, . He plays banjo with old time mavericks The Crooked Jades and accompanies internationally renowned storyteller Diane Ferlatte on banjo and guitar. Together Pearson and Ferlatte have performed at schools, libraries, and festivals around the country including the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, TN, and The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.

Notre nouveau clip, entièrement fait à la main... PIG MONSTER. Déjanté, hors normes, expérimental, décalé, théâtral, déglingué. Our new music video, entirely handstitched .... PIG MONSTER. Crazy, non-standard, out of norme, unusual, experimental, out of phase, theatrical, delirious. Pig Monster
BONNE ANNÉE, GROSSES BISES et VIVE le ROCK...
