Allen Pier
Lead Vocals, Keyboards
Allen Pier is a graduate of Cape Fear High School in Fayetteville, holds an Associate’s degree from the Music Business Institute of Atlanta, and has been a professional musician since his senior year of high school. He has lived in Atlanta and Nashville and has traveled the country playing all types of music. He is now settled in Stedman, NC, which he has always considered home, with the love of his life, Shari. He also sings in the Fayetteville Community Church choir, and is quick to tell you “God comes first, Shari is second, and everything else just fits.”
Allen is a multi-instrumentalist: drums, brass, percussion, a little guitar and saxophone, and just enough bass to be dangerous. His main instrument is keyboards and synthesizers, and his vocals are powerful, soulful and uplifting. He joined Rivermist in late 2016 and, according to many, was the last piece of the puzzle. If you walk away from a Rivermist show without feeling good, you weren’t listening!
