Gracefire: This is, this is Rock'n'roll!
There's no better way to describe the band and their music, other than with these lyrics from their Anthem "This Is"! Their "Get Up n' Rock" attitude is to be felt and heard in all their songs. This is Gracefire, fronted by three wild ladies (vocalist Nicole Zeyda, guitarist Diana Höttermann and drummer Annika Allinger) ...and
tamed, only a little, by anchor man Simon Jokschas on bass!
Wide reaching recognition, way beyond their region around Stuttgart Germany, Gracefire's authentic Rock makes them so loved by their constantly growing fanbase, which has built them a reputation way beyond their hometown Stuttgart. During the
show, Nicole calls out questioningly to the crowd: "Grace", to which immediately comes the loud return "Fire"! From that moment on, the crowd is indeed on fire!
Sarah Smith is a fiercely talented Canadian singer/songwriter, known for her powerful and
compelling stage performances and the bold humanity of her songwriting.
After honing her craft as a member of proto-Punk band The Joys, Sarah has spent the last 15
years as a solo artist, touring relentlessly throughout Canada, while also building a growing and
deeply loyal fan base in key parts of the United States and Europe. She has been honored with
over 25 Canadian Independent industry awards for her work, and has shared the stage with
some of the most respected Canadian artists of all time, including Carole Pope, Sass Jordan, Joel
Plaskett, Bif Naked, as well as International acts like Melissa Etheridge, Nancy Wilson and KT
Tunstall.
She has steadily released original music over the past decade, including 2023’s “Come
Together”, an 18-track album which combines the sounds of Canadian Production by Mick
Dalla-Vee (Randy Bachman) as well as European production by Pat Anthony (Usher).
A native of London, Ontario, Sarah recently moved to Pender Island, off the coast of mainland
British Columbia where she has experienced a personal rebirth and a revitalization of her
creative artistry. The balance she has rediscovered in life has translated into new and exciting
creative endeavors and re- energized her desire to become an international touring artist.
Sarah Smith is an artist of uncommon ability, unrivalled authenticity, who connects with all who
encounter her remarkable songs and live performances.
Sarah is an inspiring advocate for mental health and well-being. She uses her platform to not
only play shows, but to also share her story and support organizations like the Canadian Mental
Health Association, Addictions Services of Thames Valley, My Sister’s Place, Anova, and Vanier
Children’s Services. Through her social activism, Sarah is helping to make a real difference in the
lives of many.
