Press:
Early Grace offer an eclectic, if somewhat fairly straight-forward, rock/Americana blend; a foundation on which their key vocalist attempts to Kick The Sky, so to speak. Commanding that spotlight is vocalist and pianist Anna Elias, whose soaring, impassioned vocal shows hints of Caitlin Cary, Natalie Merchant and Susan Cowsill. Their downbeat mix of what they refer to as "Cosmic Americana Music" bears a swelling sense of yearning in Anna`s delivery. There are tales from real life, some of fiction, and some from the broken hearted. And one in particular, the Gram Parsons worthy "Tombstone Bound", that makes for a beautiful duet with Jason Ringenberg of Jason & The Scorchers. This one features some sweet pedal-steel and lovely piano work which adds much to the songs emotionally stirring sway and was recorded in Nashville, TN with producer Brad Jones (Sheryl Crow, Steve Earle, Hayes Carll).

Barry Cassell of Nashville Music Guide declared, "Anna Elias-Bonet's vocals carry you through this music ride that will leave you wanting more at each listen. This album is fresh clean and worthy of being in my personal collection".

http://www.myspace.com/earlygracemusic Six weeks of working Early Grace to radio with Adam Lewis from Planetary Group, we were added at over 70 stations, about half of the stations we serviced! The overwhelming majority of those stations reported some level of rotation to us (over 50!). We have 26 college stations spinning us in medium rotation or better throughout the north and south east and reached #26 on CMJ’s top 200 modern rock CD’s of 2006. Both Early Grace disc's "EP" and "Kick the Sky" were played on the MTV reality show "Parental Control", the single "Let Him Go" is a staple at the web radio station WCWP from CW Post College with host Mike Ferrari.
Bio 2009
Since forming in their drummer Pete’s basement in West Babylon New York, Early Grace found themselves at the top of the CMJ (College Music Journal) Charts in 2006 with their debut album, Kick the Sky. The band's latest album, “nothing' left to burn”, mixes Anna, Chris and Russ' road-seasoned vocals to create a record full of heart-pounding Alternative Southern Rock. Recorded in Nashville,TN with indie rock producer Chris Mara, the new disc blends a plethora of euphoric and bombastic guitar parts to spark a collection of retro-inspired crowd pleasers. With standout tracks like All for Nothing and Katherine" dominating local/regional radio airwaves and being ranked number two on myspace music‘s top 100 Southern Rock artist in New York, don't be surprised if you find Early Grace back at the top of the indie rock charts and beyond. -“Three Chords and the truth”
