KATIE GRACE announces her debut album “Best Bad Girl”
and release show!
Singer-songwriter Katie Grace releases her debut album "Best Bad Girl" with a show on
Saturday, February 18 at 9pm at PJ's Lagerhouse.
Joining her for the show are the bands Bixy Lutz and John Holk & The Kinfolk opening the night. To kick off the album's release, Katie will be a guest and perform songs live on Ann Delisi's Essential Music show on WDET Detroit radio, 101.9FM that morning at 11:00am-2pm. http://www.wdetfm.org/
Katie Grace honed her skill as the bassist for some of Detroit's finest alt-country bands; Doop and the Inside Outlaws and Shotgun Wedding, and wielded a stand-up bass in the bluegrass bands The Salt Miners and the all-female ensemble, Syreens. As an integral part of these bands she traveled to Austin, Texas for a showcase at SXSW Music Festival and a string of shows in New York City and the Eastcoast.
After a successful run as a sidewoman and a duet partner, she decided to branch out on her own. She began writing songs that she says, “tell honest stories and say what everyone is thinking but no one has the guts to say out loud.” This genuine songwriting started getting the attention of other musicians. She was invited to join Detroit’s Inside Outlaw Songwriting Collective, a group of like-minded composers who’s experience and influence have led her to her goals of “giving my audience something they can relate to” and, ultimately, “letting the songs speak for themselves.”
