I am half way through the Brazil tour. It has been busy but so much fun – doing live shows, playing with local musicians, filming. I am in Rio now (amazing place), heading to São Paulo in a couple of days and I am looking forward to the next three weeks in Brazil.
More shows are still being booked so keep an eye on the ‘Gigs’ section.
Looking forward to meeting more Brazilians and getting a taste of some Brazilian music too.

I am super excited to announce a residency at the Strongroom Bar in London. I will be joined by the amazingly talented Furnace Flowers, Lorna Rose and Rob Rorison. This delicious musical brew will be served up every last Sunday of the month, from 3pm. The venue offers good food so get down early to get some grub and then sink into the sofas for some soothing aural delights.

Danny Payne: “Mesmerising brilliance”
Gobshout.com: Review of Ronnie Scott’s gig
Pineappletoast Blog: nice stuff
Life In Petersfield: page 1 page 2
“She simply stunned the audience with husky, mellow-edged vocals that filled every nook of the auditorium. A faint tremolo conveyed pain, passion but never pity as she sang Know I Never Loved You and Yesterday’s Favourite Song and Sympathy, effortlessly mixing innocence and wisdom, naïveté and experience, regret, and humour, you couldn’t help but be aware that Grace Banks is something special.”
“Grace, who started writing songs after rescuing a guitar on its way to the dump, performed four of her own songs and immediately made her mark. Grace is clearly an artist for whom songwriting is a serious craft and who immerses herself in the songs she writes. Opener, Under a Blue Sky, is typical of her repertoire, a song full of warmth and wordplay, and a small story in its own right.”
“Made me sweat”
