Bid to receive two incredible seats and meet Gracie Abrams at her sold out GRAMMY Museum event with Special Guest Aaron Dessner on September 13, 2023 in Los Angeles!
For Gracie Abrams, writing songs is a matter of stripping away all artifice and getting to the raw truth of her experience: her desires and infatuations, missteps and small triumphs. In the making of her debut album Good Riddance, the 23-year-old artist deliberately slipped into a secluded creative environment for the sake of magnifying her music’s lived-in intimacy—a carefully honed quality that’s won her a devoted following and recently led to such milestones as opening for Taylor Swift on her blockbuster Eras Tour.
Created in close collaboration with The National’s Aaron Dessner (her sole producer/co-writer on the album), Good Riddance ultimately documents a particularly painful and transformative period in Abrams’s life, imbuing every track with an unvarnished honesty that’s equal parts captivating and cathartic.
The follow-up to This Is What It Feels Like (a 2021 project made with the likes of longtime Lorde collaborator Joel Little), Good Riddance came to life in a series of free-flowing sessions at Long Pond Studio (the Hudson Valley homebase for Dessner, whose production discography includes his GRAMMY® -winning work on Taylor Swift’s folklore).
Praising Good Riddance as “one of 2023’s best debuts,” Rolling Stone stated that the album “shows a serious command of autobiographical songwriting” and hailed Abrams as “one of pop’s buzziest young artists” including Good Riddance on their mid-year “Best Of” list. Over the course of its 12 soul-baring songs, Good Riddance affirms Abrams as a songwriter wholly unafraid of revealing her messiest emotions.
Naming Joni Mitchell as an essential influence, Abrams first started penning her own songs at age eight and later made her debut with the 2019 single “Mean It,” quickly amassing a devoted following on the strength of her emotionally intimate lyrics and DIY sensibilities.
Not long after delivering her debut project minor, she began bringing her spellbinding live show to venues throughout the U.S. and Europe, in addition to playing festivals like Austin City Limits, touring with Olivia Rodrigo, and opening for Phoebe Bridgers. Upon release of Good Riddance Abrams set out on a sold-out North American headline tour and recently wrapped supporting Taylor Swift on over 30 select dates of her blockbuster Eras Tour. Abrams released a deluxe version of her debut album featuring four additional songs in June.
