If nerditude had a formal name, it would be Grace Morrison.

She’s a little bit of everything—pianist, accordion player, Renaissance Faire performer, cranberry grower, reader of historical nonfiction, coffee devotee (she sells her own coffee blend), and an unapologetic expert on all things New England. And somehow, all these quirks weave seamlessly into the fabric of her music, making her one of the most unique and endearing songwriters around. Born and raised on the shores of Cape Cod, Grace Morrison has trademarked a sound she calls Saltwater Country. “I was always too pop for folk and too folk for country. Eventually, I started peeling back the layers of my music to find out what truly made it mine. At the heart of it all was my deep, undeniable connection to the Cape Cod coastline—it’s in my blood, in my voice, in every lyric I write. My music carries the storytelling of country, the twang, but also the raw, unshakable spirit of a Swamp Yankee. That’s Saltwater Country.”

Lindsay Foote has always been a lover of words. She spent her childhood years pouring through the inner sleeves of her favorite CDs, memorizing every lyric. She was often scolded by her teachers for “daydreaming.” It’s a habit she never managed to kick, that has proved quite useful as a songwriter.

Whether she’s working on an album, collaborating with an artist, or writing music for TV, Lindsay brings her signature artistic spark to every she creates. This is “music of the heart” steeped in candor, insight, and kindness. Combining folk traditions, pop, and an Americana edge, her sound is at once familiar and fresh. The 2nd place winner of the Songwriter Serenade Competition is often featured on CBS’s The Young and The Restless and has been recognized in several national songwriting competitions.

After many years of honing her craft in Toronto, Lindsay is now making a name for herself in the vibrant Boston folk scene.
