About the Artist
Award-winning Singer/Songwriter John Gracie

For bookings/info: tel:902.462.6768 or e-mail: agracie@johngracie. Here’s another Cape Bretoner that was born to write and sing music. Growing up close enough to the Atlantic Ocean to feel its spray hit his bedroom window, its power long has been an inspiration for his music. This new CD, Acoustic JEEP comes after a period of personal losses and reevaluation of himself and the world we live. His mother once visited a fortune teller who told her that her son would get everything he needed in life because of his guitar. It has come to be.

Product Description:
This is award winning singer/songwriter, John Gracie's 8th CD but he feels like it is his first. This CD came after a time of tragic personal losses and life changes and without any grand plan, it evolved to be a CD of social conscience, songs about changing the world, the homeless, the NRA, the wrongfully accused will hopefully make a difference. There are also some gritty love songs, filled with powerful emotions. One song, Old Stone Well, is a beautiful love song dedicated to John's sister, Sharon who died of cancer at the age of 49.
