I just got back from a nice concert by Grace Doval at the Common Cup. I’m guessing that this was her first one-person show at a venue like that, and she did a really nice job. She’s got a wonderful voice and has some real potential as a song-writer. About 2/3 of the material was self-penned, and it held up well with the covers. The playlist had a heavy emphasis on relationship songs, which isn’t what I tend to buy at the record store, but I definitely enjoyed the evening and hope she does other shows.
Grace was one of the performers at the open mic night two weeks ago. At the time I was struck by the quality of many of the performers and thought that there several (including Grace) that were good enough to do something like this. It’s nice that some of them are heading that direction.
