Indie-folk, Singer-Songwriter duo, The Graes, are CJ and Cassie Grae. Based out of Wilmington, NC, the married duo crafts melodic stories of the depths of life and the people they love. The Graes are commonly noted for their complimenting voices, euphonious harmonies, and effortless ability to captivate an audience, making each performance unforgettable. Having experienced the true authenticity and vulnerability found simply in a song, The Graes aim to create music that connects with their listeners in ways that conversation can’t. “We write about life – the good, the bad, the ugly – it’s how we process, heal, and reset.” Pulling inspiration from artists like Penny and Sparrow and The Civil Wars, the duo has set their sights high. Collaborating with well-known producers and songwriters like Forever the Sickest Kid’s Austin Bello and LA producer Ron Geffen, The Graes are continually releasing new music and are eager to perform in a city near you!
