Following a successful UK arena tour supporting Frank Turner, protest singer, LGBTQ+ activist, folk musician and social commentator Grace Petrie kicks off her new tour at The Place in Bedford on Monday, September 30.
A talented lyricist and an electrifying live performer; Grace can take the most hostile room and by the end of the night they will be singing along with every word.
Hailing from Leicester, Grace 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 across the alternative, LGBTQ+, folk, political and comedy scenes and beyond.
She has racked up tour supports with Emmy the Great and Billy Bragg, and earlier in 2019 supported Frank Turner on his UK arena tour.
She has made her mark in the comedy scene regularly supporting comedians Robin Ince and Josie Long on tour and she has also collaborated with some of the most respected names in folk, including Leon Rosselson Roy Bailey and Peggy Seeger.
She regularly tours sold out shows across the UK and has appeared at an eclectic genre-crossing mix of festivals Latitude, Musicport, Blissfields, Shrewsbury Folk Festival, Greenbelt, Cambridge Folk Festival and in 2019 played The Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury Festival.
Her most recent album, ‘Queer As Folk’, was released in the Autumn of 2018 and has gone on to be named a top 10 Folk Album of 2018 by Mojo magazine. Nice work.
