Grace Gardner Raised on the outskirts of a Texas city, now living in New England, Grace Gardner is pushing the boundaries of the singer/songwriter genre. While their music adopts many of the genre’s characteristics, Grace has found inspiration in their parents’ taste in 70s and 80s rock, in the folk roots of Grace’s southern upbringing, the heart of the sounds of New Orleans where Grace studied neuroscience in college, and in the lyric-forward storytelling they found themselves returning to most. Taking it one step further, producing all of their own music allows Grace to maintain a personal, authentic touch in each of their songs. Grace’s lyricism is evocative and emotional, poignantly penning about the joys and tribulations in relationships, in recovery, and in their identity — typically backdropped by thoughtful guitar and intricate production. Grace’s inspirations are eclectic powerhouse writers from the 1970s — Carole King, Stevie Nicks, Labi Siffre, Joan Baez. As Grace started honing in on their own musical style, finding the intersection between soft rock, indie, and folk, they’ve taken even more inspiration from artists like Madison Cunningham, Adrianne Lenker, Andy Shauf, and Madi Diaz. Grace plays ten instruments and uses orchestral, brass, percussive, and software-based elements in their works. Along with being a singer, songwriter, and instrument player, Grace is also a producer and arranger. Grace’s debut EP, Peach, was released in March 2023, featuring the viral lead single, “Deny Me.” Grace has joined artists such as Adam Melchor, Frances Forever, and Tiny Habits on their headline tours, and embarked on their first headline tour at the beginning of 2025. Grace’s sophomore EP, “Recovery Mile,” was released in February 2024, and their third project, “After Knowing,” was released at the very end of 2024.
