‘Annie June’ was written by Lily Grace and James Blundell who collaborated earlier in the year to pen the song together. ‘Annie June’ was inspired by a scene where a husband introduces his new girlfriend into a family situation. This woman is blamed for everything and is portrayed as a homewrecker. The song takes the audience on a journey of discovery where they come to an understanding that Annie June is not the sole cause of the family’s problems as people originally thought. This song will resonate with anyone who has come from a broken family situation. When new people are introduced they can experience hatred towards them but they must understand that they are not the entire problem, and sometimes the underlying problem are the fractures that already exist within the family.
Lily Grace is a young girl going big places. Already turning industry heads, collaborating with iconic Australian country artists and drawing strong crowds, this 15-year old talent from the Gold Coast is one of the most exciting female artists to emerge in recent years. A soloist whose seamless guitar-playing and mesmerizing voice belie her youth, Lily Grace is a genuine, grounded performer who sings from the heart. With her relaxed, easy-listening style and warm and natural stage presence, Lily Grace leaves audiences transfixed by her talent, her young age, and her unique style.
Naturally gifted, Lily Grace began singing at ten years of age. She dived deeper into music a mere four years ago, when she was gifted her first guitar at the age of eleven. Her determination to self-fund her own equipment saw her busking at local markets, and soon after, attracting her to local cafes, restaurants and festivals. With several years’ stage experience already behind her, Lily Grace delivers her own storytelling originals alongside a vast collection of popular, crowd-pleasing favourites from contemporary, classics, and country. The emotions of love, determination, kindness, gratitude and pure joy pour forth in every performance.
Lily Grace is a sought-after talent, having recently opened for Amber Lawrence and Catherine Britt’s ‘Love and Lies Tour’ across Queensland, and joining Tania Kernaghan her recent concert.
