PERFORMING THIS WEEK:
Calling Grace
Hailing from the landscapes of Sioux City in Iowa, Hard Rock recording artists Calling Grace began their journey into the music realm last year in 2017, and are determined to hit the ground running as they manifest into a industry-worthy live-act and innovative group.
As the Rockers formed and solidified their live-show experience through relentless rehearsing, Calling Grace began to grace the stage almost immediately after formation; and quickly landed slots on some high-profile shows such as performing as the Support Act on the Scarlet Canary / Anchor “SHUT UP AND MOSH” Tour, Opening for National touring act Starset at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, and many others.
It also wasn’t long until Calling Grace found their calling to enter the studio, where they recorded their debut single “Here’s To The End”, and also their own supercharged Z98 Underground Award Winning Rock cover of Simple Mind’s “Don’t You (Forget About Me)”.
Calling Grace just released their debut EP “Here’s to the End” As the band pushes forward, be sure to keep up with Calling Grace by connecting with them on their Social Media platforms and Music Streaming sites for News, Music, Tour Dates, and everything else the band has going on in the shortcoming and beyond.
