History is simply defined as recorded change over time.
Grace Askew – songstress, songsmith, and song-writing coach – owns her history and journey in change: the hard work … the long nights traveling roads revealed only by her truck’s headlights … her defiance of the music scene’s status quo … the network television fame … the bursts of inspiration leading to a catalog of original music bigger than an old leather-bound bible … the birth of her baby boy … and so many more vignettes in time that brought her to this place – and here you are, too.
An authentic daughter of the Delta, Grace Askew’s Memphis roots run deep. A timeless storyteller, the fabric of her song enshrouds listeners in vivid imagery that is undiscovered, and yet? hauntingly familiar. Her music embodies a decade of lived experience viewed from the lens of a strong woman and amplified by a deft combination of rich, smoky vocals; slide resonator guitar; and the occasional wail – nonspecifically Country, Folk, Roots, and Blues.
From her breakout success on NBC’s The Voice to recording studios, juke joints, stages of all sizes, and currently online in the age of the COVID pandemic, Grace Askew crisscrosses the American landscape by roads less traveled to show you those roads … and her history – song by song.
