Who is Grace Womack?
Austin and Nashville-based singer/songwriter Grace Womack writes romantic, down-to-earth tunes that reveal a rare depth and a warm curiosity about the world around her. There’s a gentleness and ease to Womack’s pop-meets-R&B sound that feels both self-assured and at the same time vulnerable. Backed by delicate harmonies, her voice weaves around mellow acoustic guitar riffs and piano melodies, floating up to high octaves with the effortless grace of powerhouse pop vocalist Sara Bareilles and sinking down to croon husky alto melodies with the low-key cool of bluesy R&B chanteuse Alana Davis. Her style has also been compared to Lizzie McAlpine, Lake Street Dive, and Kacey Musgraves.
A performer since the age of nine, Womack was born and raised in Houston, Texas, where she developed an early love for musical theater that eventually distilled into a love for writing and performing her own songs. Inspired by everything from her dad’s dreams of writing novels to the work of idiosyncratic pop artists like Wisconsin drummer-turned-singer Sammy Rae, Womack is a genuine writer at heart. Her soothing anthems are rich in visual imagery and metaphor, exploring the range of human experience in candid and elegant detail.
Set for a Summer 2021 release, Womack’s debut EP Yellow Cowboy Hat showcases her broad range and vocal dexterity through nimble, lyrical narratives about what interests her: friendship, love, confusion, forgiveness, how lives become intertwined and grow apart. “I often end up writing about what I don’t know—how nothing is certain, and how confusing it is to be alive sometimes. I write what feels real.”
