Grace Yukich shares the bill at Best Video Film & Cultural Center on Fri., Feb. 10 with Ponybird and The Moonrise Cartel. The show starts at 7 PM and the cover is $10.

Grace Yukich is a CT-based singer-songwriter whose folk music is a little bit country and a little bit punk. An Alabama native who has called the northeast home for almost two decades, Grace has been singing, writing, and playing music since childhood. She released her first studio album, Wisteria, this past fall. On the album, she explores the wild, exhilarating, and binding experience of living in the in-between in family, home, love, and loss, and pokes fun at life’s absurdities along the way.

Influenced by the emotional roots of country, the confessional poetry of folk, and the spatial freedom of ambient and harmonic tones, Ponybird is the solo project of Jennifer Dauphinais, an evolving artist who translates something both introspective and infinite all at once. The heart of Ponybird is derived from a central singer-songwriter focus, with a tribe of players that satellite the work. (This format allows the flexibility for booking the project as a solo, duo, or full-band performance.)

The Moonrise Cartel combines heartfelt songwriting, melodies that stick and sweeping vocal harmonies for songs that sound like they have been loved for decades.​ Stephanie Harrison's voice has been deservingly likened to the greats; often compared to Stevie Nicks and Emmylou Harris due to her timeless tone. Al Pascarelli has honed his craft of honest and beautiful songwriting that is simple in the best way possible. His deep, gravelly tone offers the perfect counterpoint to Stephanie. Together they have achieved in a very short time a type of musical magic that cannot be fabricated but simply is sometimes, found.
