Grace Pettis’s music (https://www.gracepettis.com/) is a little bit of folk, a little bit of country/americana, and a whole lot of soul.“Finding Grace Pettis is like a diabetic being told there’s no sugar in the hot fudge sundae. And yes, you can have 2 helpings.” –Americana Highways
Grace is the winner of many of the nation’s most prestigious songwriting contests, including NPR’s Mountain Stage NewSong Contest, and has received grants from the Buddy Holly Educational Foundation. Grace’s songs have been recorded by other esteemed artists, including Sara Hickman and Ruthie Foster, with 3 co-writes on Foster’s latest, Grammy-nominated album, Healing Time (2024).
Grace has a melodic way of writing that not only stays in your head but reads what’s sitting in your soul. She writes what I always wanted to say.” — Ruthie Foster
Grace is an official showcasing artist at SXSW and Folk Alliance International this year (2024). She has independently released three acclaimed records and signed with MPress Records in 2020. Her debut album on MPress, Working Woman (2021), was produced by lauded singer-songwriter Mary Bragg, mixed by 2x Grammy® award winner Shani Gandhi (Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical), and featured an all-female/non-binary band and creative credits. Guest contributions came from Indigo Girls, Ruthie Foster, Dar Williams, and other luminaries. Summer 2024 will see the release of Grace’s next full-length album, Down to the Letter, on MPress Records.
Alt-country folk artist Grace Pettis packs her music with as much purpose as poetry, and the LGBTQ community is proud to have her as a supportive ally.” — Out Front Magazine
Tai Chirovsky (https://taichirovsky.bandcamp.com/) is opening for Grace. Last seen at SongSpace at one of our Gallery shows, Tai is a Pittsburgh-based singer-songwriter and musician with a resonant voice reminiscent of Shelby Lynne. Her work is characterized by introspective and emotive lyrics, accompanied by acoustic guitar and soothing melodies. She has a number of EP releases on Bandcamp, including City Lights, Open My Mouth and You Come Out, and her latest, Growing Up. When she is not singing, Tai works in community radio, gardens, and is a sustainable fiber artist under the moniker Chaotic Good Embroidery (@chaoticgoodembroidery on Instagram).
