At the center of Australian singer-songwriter Ben Grace's impeccably crafted songs is a story of undoing. Drawn by the roots-driven tradition of Americana to sing the stories that need to be told, Ben's music hovers in the space between lightness and the depths, wrestling its way through humor and melody to peel back the layers and reveal the naked truth of us. Through the specificity of his own deconstruction, Ben writes into our universal search for belonging, spiritual homecoming, and desire to live seen and unashamed. Born and raised in an inner city suburb of Sydney, Ben's exodus from the beliefs and structures of his working class Christian childhood weaves poignantly through his lyrics, revealing itself in his deep commitment to justice and willingness to call forward the darker themes in American politics. With the lens of an outsider and the bold voice of a witness, Ben writes to challenge and disrupt our comfort with the status quo. Songs like “Mama” and “An Eye for an Eye” take on the realities of systemic racism while holding space for collective mourning, and his 2019 single, “Preacher's Daughter,” confronts the silencing of patriarchal religious culture through the artfully captured memory of one woman's intercepted words. His solo work is the culmination of a 25 year trajectory through the industry that includes the release of over 50 songs and collaborations, each a twist in the gradual unraveling that would lead him to produce under his own name. In the past two years, Ben has joined fellow artists to tour across 20 states and through Europe, playing everything from house shows to historic venues, singing into the truth of our stories and holding them up to the light. Ben Grace's debut full length record "As if words could heal the wounds" has now been released! Get your copy today! Ben is one half of the dynamic songwriting team “Story & Tune”.

You might say that Heatherlyn got into music because music got into Heatherlyn. Inspired by the irresistible way it can connect and carry us, she's built an international community around songs, poetry, and gatherings designed to pull listeners deeper into their own stories and the stories of others. Her passion for theology and the beautiful complexity of the human spirit is present in everything she creates, resonant in the echoes of the soul, rock, and roots influences that weave through her eclectic sound. It's a passion that stems from her firmly held belief that love is a powerful force of hope and healing, and that music is a uniquely powerful expression of love. Alongside her life partner, Jason, Heatherlyn creates and curates sacred space through music at HeatherlynMusic.com and as the Worship Minister at Left Hand Community Church in her current home base of Boulder County, CO. From the very first time she led a congregation as a four-year-old in a small rural Pentecostal church to the hundreds of evenings her life as a traveling troubadour has allowed her to spend in living rooms and on stages around the world, Heatherlyn holds her role as a compassionate witness and storyteller with unwavering gratitude. She's had the privilege to serve with the organization PeaceJam, to perform alongside Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, to partner with women's leadership organization She is Called, and to contribute to the global 9BEATS Collective. She has traveled with and performed in support of internationally recognized authors, on behalf of countless civic groups and social justice projects, and in partnership with faith communities around the world. All of her projects and collaborations are supported by the Heatherlyn Music CSA, a community of contributors who have been moved to bring her message of peace, compassion, and celebration to the world.
