Grace Elizabeth Harvey is a singer-songwriter based in Liverpool. With a background as a classical cellist and student of literature and philosophy, she unites the traditional with the exploratory, to capture unflinchingly intimate and lyrically deft fragments of our experience.
Grace’s upcoming EP Songs of Devotion is out on the 16th October. It attempts to deconstruct the tangles of language and love with songs formed by train journeys, second-hand bookshops and borrowed sofas. Washes of harmonic intricacy are punctuated by strikingly precise imagery, in a collection of songs as dynamic and exploratory as they are simple and sincere.
The lead single from the release was inspired by finding Adrienne Rich’s poetry collection The Dream of a Common Language in a charity shop. Scattered with fragmented images of cigarette papers, hazel-coloured eyes and cold telephone lines, both The Dream of Common Language and the forthcoming EP were recorded live at producer Gus White’s residential studio, The Barn, alongside double bassist Sam Crooks and drummer Lloyd Haines.
The year of her 2025 debut EP, Other Faith, brought two UK-wide tours, including a break into London’s grassroots folk scene, sharing stages with the likes of Chris Brain, Chloe Foy, Josienne Clarke, Villagers and Florist. She won the Young Songwriter’s Competition 2025 and has since been awarded the PPL Momentum Accelerator Fund.
With a penchant for exceptionally captivating live performances, receiving praise from national press (BBC Introducing, Still Listening, Narc, Fatea, Folking) and grassroots fans alike, Grace is quickly proving herself to be of the UK’s finest emerging songsmiths and a ‘new name to watch’ (FATEA).
