Morgan Grace, “Come Around” (Unreleased)
After parting ways with former drummer (and Napalm Beach mainstay) Sam Henry, Morgan Grace has finally taken the first steps toward a lifelong fantasy—the hand-picked all-female super(girl)group. “Come Around” doesn’t quite reach supergroup status—Grace plays all parts on the demo—but, with supra-feminine vocals (imagine a more tuneful Juliana Hatfield) keening ecstatic ‘whoa-ohs’ above driving beat and memorable riffage, the track illustrates a distinct blueprint: garage sensibilities employed to power the classic Shangri-La’s narrative. Her solo acoustic show February 9th at Mississippi Studios should touch more upon past glories, of course, but do expect further hints toward the exciting new direction.

says:Morgan is an awesome musician. She has a very cool solo thing going and her addition to a great band like Kleveland has only made them better. Go see her at Mississippi studios on Feb 9…..you will get your money worth for sure….

says:Morgan Grace is amazing singer, songwriter, guitarist, and overall musician. If you live in the Portland area (hell, the Pacific Northwest for that matter), you’re nuts if you miss her show at Mississippi Studios on February 9. I live in central Illinois and if I wasn’t already flying to Rochester, NY to see another utterly fabulous Portland musician, Storm Large, I’d be flying to Portland for MG’s solo gig!!! Too bad I can’t be in two places at once!!

says:There are a handful of people who could get onstage and fart and I’ll still always come to listen. Morgan Grace is a great musician and songwriter.
