After a successful run as a side woman and a duet partner, Grace decided to branch out on her own. Grace began writing songs that she says, “tell honest stories and say what everyone is thinking, but no one has the gutsto say out loud.” This genuine songwriting started getting the attention of other musicians. Eventually, Grace was invited to join Detroit’s Inside Outlaw Songwriting Collective, a group of like-minded composers who’s experience and influence have led Grace to her goals of “giving my audience something they can relate to”, and, ultimately, “letting the songs speak for themselves.”
Grace introduced her songs by performing at the collective's monthly showcases, developing an audience of her own. She put together a band comprised of Matt D’mitts (lead guitar and backing vocal), Greg Beyer (bass)and Alex Trajano (drums) to record the tracks. This recording session at Ghetto Recorders studio with noted producer/engineer Jim Diamond resulted in her debut album.
In February of 2012, "Best Bad Girl" will be released. The 10-song album ranges from alt-country fare of the title track to rockin' tunes such as "Hey Bartender" and "Wine on the Workdays and Whiskey on the Weekends". "Every person has a unique set of experiences and stories. These are mine," Grace tells us of the songs on "Best Bad Girl."
The album has already been featured on Dave Marsh's "Kick Out The Jams" show on Sirius XM radio and Ann Delisi's Essential Music Show on WDET Detroit radio. She will hit the road for a string of regional shows this spring.
