Grace Braun recently celebrated her 20th anniversary as a performer. In that time she has grown from a teenage punk noisemaker into an astonishing songwriter and gifted singer. Her roots/punk band DQE developed a worldwide cult following in the nineties, and for the past ten years, Grace has also recorded and performed under her own name, focusing on folk, country, blues and ballads. Grace is a mesmerizing performer and a singer capable of both enormous strength and breathtaking intimacy, but it is as a songwriter that she is carving out a legend. Her songs have a timeless quality, with a combination of simplicity and depth rarely achieved in the last decade. Steering clear of her generation’s irony and cynicism, Grace’s songs are vulnerable, and often powerfully moving, and her melodies are so full of life, they sound like they’ve been sung for generations.
Grace’s songs have been covered by artists like The Sadies, Kelly Hogan, Neal Casal, and Jad Fair. Her music has been used in a number of films and television projects, most notably in two films by director Brad Anderson.
