Performance [140] 7-Feb-2018 (Just the Beginning Tour - Headliner)

Concert

9:30 Club Max Capacity: 1200
Washington, DC - USA


Notes

“Inside the club was a massively enthralled and enthused crowd and it didn't take long for me, one of the few older guys in the club, to also be completely swept away by her performance. It was a dazzling show that felt fresh, sincere, bold but also simple, (Bob Boilen NPR June 6, 2018) He came to the concert believing it to be with another artist, and later invited her to perform at the NPR tiny desk (see performance# 64)

“Her vocal range is quite expansive and versatile; she can go from a soft whisper or a raspy growl to a straight up empowering roar. Her lyrics are thoughtful and engaging, unlike a lot of the other ubiquitous nonsense occupying the pop music sphere today. Anyone who has witnessed Grace perform on television or in person will tell you she has an unbelievable amount of poise and confidence for someone her age. She commanded the audience and the stage — whether it was standing prominently at the centre or dangling her feet while sitting on the edge — better than some performers multiple times her age”. (Park Life DC 2 July 18)

In the audience were Washington Capitals forwards Tom Wilson and Brett Connolly.
