Grace Pettis, from Lookout Mountain, Alabama, has son
gwriting in her blood. The daughter of a poetry
scholar and a troubadour, Grace comes by her love of
words honestly. Her father, Pierce Pettis, is a crit
ically
acclaimed songwriter and performer who penned the Garth
Brooks hit “You Move Me.” Both Grace’s brothers
Rayvon and George (100 Watt Horse) are songwriters a
nd musicians.
What sets her apart in her talented family is her distin

, full
of waving golden grains before menacing, dark thunder
clouds” (SiriusXM Program Director, Mary Sue
Twohy).
Grace’s latest Kickstarter campaign has succeeded at
120% of its goal, with the help of 350 backers, raising o
ver
$24,000 towards the making of Grace
’
s third album, produced by Dan Barrett, of the Austin-
based band,
