Bio

Raised on the outskirts of a Texas city, now living in Philadelphia, Grace Gardner is pushing the
boundaries of the singer/songwriter genre. While her music adopts many of the genre’s
characteristics, she’s found inspiration in her parents’ taste in 70s and 80s rock, in the folk roots
of her southern upbringing, and in the indie-storytelling she found herself returning to most.
Taking it one step further: producing all of her own music allows Grace to maintain a personal,
authentic touch in each of her pieces. Her lyricism is evocative and emotional, poignantly
penning about the joys and tribulations in relationships, in recovery, and in her identity —
typically backdropped by fingerpicked acoustic guitar and intricate production.

Her inspirations are eclectic powerhouse writers from the 1970s — Carole King, Stevie Nicks,
and Joni Mitchell are her “Big 3.” As Grace started honing in on her own musical style, finding
the intersection between soft rock, indie, and folk, she’s taken even more inspiration from artists
like Samia, Olivia Barton, and Madison Cunningham. Grace plays ten instruments and uses
orchestral, brass, percussive, and software-based elements in her 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 lead single, “Deny Me.”
She’s joined emerging indie artists Ella Jane, Adam Melchor, and Tiny Habits on their tours last
year. This year she joins Hans Williams, Shallow Alcove, and embarks on a headline tour.
Grace’s sophomore EP, “Recovery Mile,” is due in February 2024, preceded by a track and
music video for the single “Lubbock” in January.
