GRACE ASKEW - ARTIST/WRITER
With a Southern-Gothic storytelling style, Grace’s lyrics weave vivid imagery of a life lived with authenticity and grit, always paying homage to her Delta roots. The rough-around-the edges and righteously primal sounds of her slide resonator guitar, bellows, stomps, claps and hollers will leave you baptized by the Blues and grounded in the truths of an old-soul.
Her television appearances include PBS’ Sun Sessions and she represented Team Blake Shelton on the fourth season of NBC’s The Voice. Since January 1, 2018, Askew has written and live-streamed a new original song daily for her loyal Facebook and Instagram followers. The daily songwriting challenge continued through the end of 2019 when she officially completed writing 730 songs in 730 days. The social media performance series featured collaborations with various songwriting legends, including Joe Leathers (Guy Clark, Kenny Chesney). Her songs have even caught the attention of brands like Stetson, Wrangler and Tecovas Boots, all of which have signed her on as a model.
An embodiment of atmospheric and organic, Dark Americana/Singer-songwriter we’re calling "Southwest Desert Noir.” Grace’s unmistakable voice both shimmers and haunts and immediately creates a mood that transports the listener. Enhanced by the lush yet organic production of Park Chisholm we can’t wait for you to fall in love with the Adobe Red EP by Grace Askew.
