GRACE MORRISON

We are so excited to have you back at the Spire and hosting a
lobby show! How has this past year been, being back on the
road?
I’m so happy to be heading back! Man, this year has been a
wild ride. Started off with a Southwest tour (NM, UT, AZ) and
recorded a new album in Austin on the way out there. Was a
second place winner in a pretty prestigious songwriting
competition, have been selected as an official showcase artist
at a couple of industry events. There have been some more
exciting things, but I don’t want to seem self-aggrandizing. I
suppose I just want to say that after years of working my tail
off, it seems like some things are starting to click. I’m really
excited. Check out

HA! Yes I did. I was the pianist for the musical, did some roving 9MVweDVATLx
minstrel-ing, and was the music director a2gyy7

If you could make friends with any one of king Henry the VIII’s
Click to shop Grace's wives, who would it be and why?
Anne of Cleves. Not only because she kept her head, so she’d be
merchandise! a safe person to be around, but because she actually seems fun!
She enjoyed playing cards, and maintained her own household
after her marriage was annulled (King Henry also gave her
Hever Castle which is one of my favorite historical sites to visit).

How has being a music teacher impacted you as a musician?
I truly miss my teaching days. At the height of it I was teaching
65-70 students a week and they enriched my life in ways I’m still
realizing. But I think the best part was the immediacy of the
impact music had on those students…watching it in real time.
Eyes lighting up when they could play a song they loved. Every
day it reignited my love for playing.

Are you working on any new projects? New history podcast
perhaps?
I SHOULD TOTALLY DO A HISTORY PODCAST!!!! Adding it to
the dream board. I’ve got 2 more singles coming out this year
and then a new album March 31! In preparation for those things,
I’m trying to get myself 1k followers on Spotify so if you dig my
music or want to hear more please consider following! PS-will
totally take suggestions on where to start with that history
podcast. Titanic? Pompeii?
