TOMORROW'S BLUEGR ASS STARS

FESTIVAL GUIDE

“To me, being endorsed by a company is more than just a sponsorship. You have to have a well-working relationship with the people at the company as well. The companies that I endorse have good ethics, very kind people behind their operation, and good, quality instruments that are well-made,” said Grace. As Grace begins the next steps in her career, she is most proud of her growth as a composer. “I have a love for writing music. It’s probably my favorite thing about playing music.” In addition to pursuing her dreams of writing, enrolling as an ETSU student, and studying under Wyatt Rice, Grace also has some big things coming for her fans in the very near future, so stay tuned and keep your eye peeled for the next big thing from Grace.

“I’d love to leave your readers with one thing – go your own way. If someone tries to stop you in Plan A, have a Plan B, C, D, and so on. The biggest bit of advice I can give about what I’ve learned in music is that someone is going to constantly doubt you and judge you because of a dream that you have. If you want to be a rock star, make it happen. Just go for it.”
