She was hailed in The Guardian as “a powerful new songwriting voice” in 2011.

Petrie writes indie folk rock songs (a couple with an acoustic punk twist), plays the guitar and sings with a voice that has been described by listeners as similar to Laura Marling, Kate Nash. From the humble beginnings of small gigs in her hometown in 2006 and a home-recorded debut album, Petrie has acquired a reputation as one of the best artists on the flourishing Leicester music scene, and a following of dedicated listeners. In 2007 she supported Frank Turner and Mark Morriss (The Bluetones) and released a second CD, Feel Better, to critical acclaim. From there onwards she began to break onto the festival scene, playing Leicester’s acclaimed folk weekender, The Big Session Festival, and the more commercial Summer Sundae, as well as the main stage at Nottingham Gay Pride 2009, where she played to over 10,000 people.

In 2010, folk legend (and Petrie’s personal hero) Billy Bragg heard her music and invited her to play at Glastonbury on the Leftfield stage, sharing a stage with Bragg and Frank Turner. At Leftfield she went down a storm and, in Bragg’s own words, “stole the f@!#ing show, sister!”, leading to more shows on the same stage as the likes of Bragg and Emmy the Great.

Her third album is entitled Tell Me A Story.

Rise
by Grace Petrie

Can we meet your blood with kindness
Can we meet your hate with love
Can we keep our years of silence
As you crash us from above
As the judgment day draws closer
As the reckoning draws near
There's plenty more of us than you here

And mark my words
We will rise
And mark my words
We will rise
Spread our wings like birds
And rain down from the skies
Mark my words
We will rise

Can we meet your blood with kindness
Can we meet your hate with love
Can we keep our years of silence
As you crash us from above
As the judgment day draws closer
As the reckoning draws near
There's plenty more of us than you here

And mark my words
We will rise
And mark my words
We will rise
Spread our wings like birds
And rain down from the skies
Mark my words
We will rise

As you crash us from above
There's plenty more of us than you here

And mark my words
We will rise
Mark my words we will rise
Spread our wings like birds
And rain down from the skies
Mark my words
We will rise

And mark my words
We will rise
Mark my words
We will rise
Spread our wings like birds
And rain down from the skies
Mark my words
We will rise

Mark my words
We will rise
Mark my words
We will rise
Mark my words
We will rise
