Grace Cummings

Grace Cummings is a Melbourne-based singer-songwriter with generally slow tempo, contemplative, and emotionally resonant songs. She typically works with a solo guitar or a piano rather than a full band. She has a deep, throaty, powerful voice that allows her to go big for full impact even when she is singing a relatively quiet and intimate song. The intensity of her delivery is unmistakable, as is her ability to access a profound sense of drama and have her audience feel all that passion in their bones. A good point of comparison is with Anna B. Savage, who has a similar voice and similar level of intensity, but Cummings is more forceful and forthcoming where Savage stays more on the subdued side. Her 2024 album Ramona finds her adopting a broader instrumentation in the arrangements.
