Josh Ritchie - Grace Jet - Double Bill

Josh Ritchie

Josh Ritchie is a born performer. Ever since he could stand he's

had a guitar in his hands and songs in his bones. Now a captivating

performer, he commands the stage with the confidence of a seasoned

front man. Ritchie describes himself as an “impressionist singer-

songwriter,” likening the principles of his craft to those of the

impressionist painters of the19th century. He doesn’t spoon-feed you

a linear story but rather makes an impression of a feeling or a

memory, creating a unique connection with each and every listener.

His music is both ambitious, bold and big enough to fill a whole room

but at the same time technical and refined when you take a closer

look. As a young and ambitious person of colour, Ritchie quickly

became fascinated with the relationship between art and activism.

Growing up, he was influenced by bands and artists that weren’t afraid

to make a statement with their art and he strives to do the same

himself. From the minute the kid walks on stage it’s obvious he was

meant to be there, serving audiences larger-than-life, stadium-rock

energy at every show.

Grace Jet

Gracie Jet is a showstopper. Ever since she was a little girl, she’s been longing to perform

and share her artist entity with the world. At a young age she anointed her self with the

mantle of “Gracie Jet” because in her own young words, “people need to be able to

chant my name.” Now, Jet is an electric performer you can’t take your eyes off. Her live show

has featured in iconic Canadian venues like The Rivoli and The Monarch Tavern and a sold out

single release show at Heartwood Hall. That same single, Sway, has gone onto garter

international attention from the press and radio. As a songwriter is perhaps where Jet shines her

brightest. Her catalogue is a walk through of her memories and experiences, each song its own

unique time, place and emotion. Her work is emotionally transparent in a very refreshing way.

She bravely gives all of herself to her songs, the good the bad, the pretty and the ugly. They’re

intimate, refined and of course ever building to her iconic, passionate roar. Like a good friend,

her music will be there for you when you need it most. Now hard at work on her debut album, Jet

has no plans of slowing down, so remember the name. Gracie Jet will be rocking a stage near very soon.
