Bio:

Grace Bergere grew up in NYC’s Downtown Manhattan. Her heavy atmospheric sound only adds to the impact of her carefully crafted, lyric driven songs. Her work has been compared to that of Elliott Smith and P.J. Harvey’s. 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 played on bills with Gogol Bordello, Shilpa Ray, Jon Spencer and Kaizers Orchestra. She will be touring the west coast for the second time in late July supporting Gogol Bordello and will continue touring with her band into early August.

Her extraordinary band members were selected based on their work in other projects. They are Vern Woodhead of his own band Woodhead on harmonium and bass, Bloody Rich Hutchins, Drummer of Live Skull, The Art Gray Noizz Quintet, Of Cabbages And Kings and Isolation Society and Robin Pahlman who writes and plays in his band Automaatio and releases original music under his own name, on guitar.

“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

"As different as Puzzled panther and Grace Bergere are, they have the right kind of newness and right kind of oldness about them. They arrived into this world as poets with a singular vision and superb knack for melodism. To me they are the new New York, which has a lot more in common with that magical old New York we know, and none of that bullshit in the middle.”
- Eugene Hutz (In an interview in Rolling Stone on his first two signees.)

“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.”
