Welcome to the home of Gracious Me on the web! Gracious Me is an award-winning songwriter who writes and sings southern-inflected, female-perspective literary Americana songs. Soulful, powerful singing, thoughtful lyrics, and memorable melodies all serve the message of Gracious Me's songs. Most recently, the original song "The Battle's Not Over" has been named a finalist in the 2019 Rapunzel's 17th Annual Songwriting Contest! Gracious Me and the Ingrates is the collective expression of Gracious Me songs and a few tasteful covers, so we'll be working on duo and band performances. She is so excited to be working on recording and releasing an album in early 2020! You can also pick up the debut EP, Introducing . . . Gracious Me right here on the website under MUSIC, in hard copy at CD Baby, downloads from iTunes and Amazon, and streaming on Spotify and elsewhere. Thanks for stopping by!
