BIOGRAPHY
Grace Corinne Rowland was born in Lubbock, Texas in 1984. Not long after her family moved to New Mexico, where they lived in Las Vegas and later, Albuquerque. Her mother Annette, her father David, and her older sister Jennifer encouraged Grace to create from the time she began exhibiting gifts. From an early age she both sang and drew, fascinated with broadway musicals and comic books. The family moved to Marble Falls, Texas when Grace was 11. She performed in plays, honed her artistic skills, and sang in church, school, & competition choir until her graduation in 2002. She received a Louise-Merrick scholarship and studied vocal education at the Texas State School of Music. It was there she met future bandmates Jesse Dalton and Michael McLeod. After a battle with stage-fright, she began writing and performing in 2005. She finished her vocal degree while touring with her first working band, The Blue Hit. The trio toured for many years, went on to other projects like Middlespoon and The Brother Brothers, and still make music together occasionally.
