He is the recipient of the Focus Foundation Award for Creative Excellence, which cited the “humor, compassion and wisdom of his songs,” and their 'unflinching social insight and cultural acuity.”
Grant tours coast to coast, and is a repeat performer at various festivals across the country, inclkuding Woody Guthrie Folk (Okemah OK), 30A Songwriter's (Santa Rosa Beach FL) , Moccasin Creek (Effingham IL), Word of South Festival of Literature and Music (Tallahassee FL), Antlers & Acorns (Boone NC), and Florida Folk (White Springs FL).
In June 2023 he made his debut at the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival.
He has been a keen observer of the American condition for five decades, ever since a friend introduced him to the music of Bob Dylan.
Through many years on the road, running a night club/music venue in Tallahassee, and after a ten-year stint on an isolated island off the coast of Nicaragua, Peeples turned to writing with a vengeance.
He wrote poetry and songs that turned a critical eye on American culture and identity, the very definition of contemporary folk music.
January 2019 marked a second tour in The Netherlands, where FolkForum.nl described him “…a pure storyteller, in the best American folk tradition…” and his show “…one of those gems that you will remember for a long time…”
Grant's latest record is 'A Murder of Songs,' released in February 2023.
