Grace Bergere

Bio: 

Grace Bergere grew up in NYC’s Downtown Manhattan. A Native New Yorker, Grace Bergere's Heavy atmospheric sound delivers timeless songwriting laced with the grit of the city she grew up in. Graces earliest influeces such as Elliott Smith and PJ Harvey set the course for her attention to craft as well as the importance of a deep personal connection in her work. \

Her debut album A Little Blood was released on Eugene Hutz’s (Gogol Bordello) Casa Gogol Records last year. Casa Gogol also recently released Grace’s cover of All Tomorrow's Parties featuring Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore. 

She has shared bills with artists such as Jon Spencer, Kaizers Orchestra, Jim Jarmusch and Jozef Van Wissem and more recently opened for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at The Beacon Theater in NYC. 

Her band members were selected based on their work in other projects. 

They are Vern Woodhead of his own band Woodhead on harmonium and bass, and Robin Pahlman who writes and plays in his band Automaatio and releases original music under his own name, on guitar and Tree Palmedo of his own project Peaceful Faces on Trumpet. 

   “Grace Bergere is real rocknroll. Guitar slinger extraordinaire, songwriter par excellence, a badass and a sweetheart. What more can you ask for? Yeah, I’m a fan.” 

- Jim Jarmusch

"It's difficult enough in 2025 to pull off a rock record that doesn't sound like a dated oldie, but Bergere does that and on every track. The dense, "sticky", bass walloped, guitar driven production brings to life a series of tough luck songs starting with the defeatist, heartbreaking album title opener….Shortly before he checked out, Leonard Cohen asked if you want it darker. Bergere delivers that on every song." 

-Michael Fremer in Tracking Angle 

  “When I first heard Grace the hair on my arms stood up and I was frozen in time, held captive by the deep quality, grit and painful beauty of her voice. I could tell right away that it came from a real place and I was immediately captivated by her haunting, delicate music and her ability to relate it in a wholly unpretentious way.”
