I’ve got something delicious for you – bluesy, folky, with a touch of jazz and an indie rock chick vibe. Here’s a ridiculously awesome vocalist, guitarist and songwriter, Grace Woodroofe<\/a>. Her sound slides from quiet and sultry (“Transformer” – god I love this) to dangerous (“Bear”) to “Battles,” which is just eerie, hypnotic, and deeply sad. In the past four years, she’s been in some damn fine company – Ben Harper<\/a>, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros<\/a> and Cat Power<\/a>, and I predict that people will really<\/em> like what they hear. Originally from Australia and now based in California, she’s just released her debut album here in the U.S., Always Want<\/a> (Modular\/Universal). She’ll be playing some dates on the East Coast later this month (T.T. the Bear’s Place on Saturday, March 24<\/strong>), before a month-long residency at the Bootleg Bar in L.A. The toughest part of this piece was deciding which of her marvelous songs to post, but you can listen to a few others<\/a> on soundcloud.<\/p>\n
