Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Grace Ives makes pop music that is as quirky as it is infectious. She began her career making beats on a Roland MC-505 groovebox, which resulted in her debut album, '2nd'. Her sound balances between nervous and relaxed, packing complex emotions into short, powerful pop songs that rarely hit the three-minute mark.
Grace Ives is openly queer and a beloved fixture in the LGBTQ+ indie-pop scene. Her music often deals with the messy realities of coming out, finding queer joy, and navigating life in your twenties.
Following her album 'Janky Star', which was awarded the 'Best New Music' label by Pitchfork, Ives is back with the Girlfriend Tour. This tour marks a new phase in which she has further sharpened her inventive approach to alternative pop. With her new music, she showcases a more confident sound that is sure to create fireworks live.
