Grace Petrie

Event Description

Grace Petrie is a British folk singer-songwriter and guitarist from Leicester, UK, hailed in The Guardian as “a powerful new songwriting voice” in 2011.

A folk singer, songwriter and activist from Leicester, UK, she has been writing, recording and touring relentlessly for ten years. Her unique takes on life, love and politics, and the warmth and wit with which they are delivered, have won over audiences everywhere, across the alternative, folk, political and comedy scenes.

In 2010, folk legend (and Petrie’s personal hero) Billy Bragg heard her music and invited her to play at Glastonbury on the Leftfield stage, sharing a stage with Bragg and Frank Turner. At Leftfield she went down a storm and, in Bragg’s own words, “stole the f@!#ingshow, sister!”.

She has been a frequent guest on BBC Radio 4’s the Now Show, has appeared on Channel 4’s Random Acts and has been featured in The Guardian, Diva Magazine and The Independent On Sunday and in 2019 is nominated as Musician Of The Year in the Diva Awards.

Grace Petrie has performed multiple times at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, and stirred up much conversation at this past summer's festival. Join us to check out why!
