Grace Askew • blues, Americana • Gato Malo • folk, rock

Grace Askew’s sound weaves through the backroads of the South and West right into the back alleys of New York and LA. Born in Memphis, she was raised on Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley; dug into her blues, soul, and folk roots in New Orleans; maintains inspiration from artists like Tom Waits, Mahalia Jackson, Sylvan Esso, and Cat Power; and now layers in the textures of synths, electric guitar, and vocal loops to create music that defies place or genre.

Local legend Gato Malo is a unique blend of latin, blues, tejano, and rockin outlaw country. A regular at Tractor Brewing, we love his music in any iteration from Dos Gatos to Felix Y Los Gatos.
