Grace Cummings

Grace Cummings is an Australian singer-songwriter whose fourth album, Bloodhorse!, is performed live with a full band at Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds.

Grace Cummings is an Australian singer born in Melbourne, who began on drums before turning to singing. The debut album, Refuge Cove, appeared in 2019. Bloodhorse!, the fourth album, was released through ATO Records and recorded in Topanga Canyon with producer Jonathan Wilson. Its arrangements layer synthesisers, tense strings and slow, woozy grooves over the stripped-back intimacy of the earlier work.

The songs turn to life, death, agency and self-examination, and the textures range from sumptuous to abrasive. Cummings'deep alto sits at the centre of this shift. In concert, the project is presented with a full band, bringing the album to the stage. Earlier European dates were played in support of Father John Misty.

The concert takes place at Hyde Park Book Club, a Leeds venue that hosts concerts and shows. It suits listeners interested in pop, rock and indie songwriting.
