Over recent years, the Brooklyn-based piano-violin duo, Gracie and Rachel,

comprised of vocalist + keyboardist, Gracie coates, and violinist, Rachel Ruggles, has emerged as a

formidable force in challenging the boundaries of pop music. Blending baroque elements, ethereal

sonic-scapes, and penetrating vulnerability, the duo creates an emotionally haunting sound all their

own. The collaborative duo of keyboardist, Gracie Coates, and violinist, Rachel Ruggles, have

performed two NPR Tiny Desk Concerts and been praised by the outlet’s Bob Boilen to “mix pop

and classical in stark, infectious ways and make unforgettable, surprising music.” Their last two

albums were released on Ani DiFranco’s Righteous Babe Records, and the duo has recently been

seen on stages supporting Tori Amos, Ani DiFranco, Julien Baker, San Fermin and more.
