Thank you CMW 2012!

I had a wonderful week in Toronto at CMW together with Oskar N, Ashley Fayth, Andreas and Nanna Larsen. We played a couple of showcases and one really cool gig out in Oakville at The Moonshine Café. Andreas Larsen was kind to join me and Oskar onstage and Ashley also joined us for some sweet harmonies at The Cadillac Lounge and at The Central.

In Oakville we met up with the lovely Elyse Simpson of Jangle Records!


We also found the time to take the grey hound out to Niagara Falls one day. The weather was great as was the Niagara Falls experience.


Back home in Finlandia we got some shows coming up. On Thursday May 10 Jerry Lindqvist and The Grace will be rocking downtown Helsinki at Henry's Pub. On May 11 we will be supporting Icons of Elegance at Bar Soho in Porvoo. On June 15 I will play a solo show supporting Icons of Elegance in Tampere at O'Connell's. Check out Icons of Elegance here www.iconsofelegance.com, they got a new album out now :-)

Stay tuned for more news,

Uncle Sam Vs Jerry & The Grace 1-0

Bad news from The Grace Camp. Due to reasons beyond our control The Detroit border control did not allow us entry into the US. We are terribly saddened to report that we’re unable to partake in the US section of The International Songwriters Tour.

However, we’re looking forward to the Canadian Music Week in Toronto, Canada on March 21-25. Also, Thank you to all the promoters and venues for having faith in us. We’ll see you next time!

The Story

Robert Singerman (NYC) is known for discovering and developing new talent, and is a forerunner in the exploration and development of new concepts in the music industry. He has worked in the music business for over thirty years, representing at various times R.E.M., Gipsy Kings, James Brown, Suzanne Vega, Sun Ra, Violent Femmes, 10,000 Maniacs, Smithereens, Beastie Boys, Fela Kuti and King Sunny Ade. He has founded US labels; Fetish and Roadrunner, and has been meticulously involved in album and TV production; music supervision and consulting; co-founding music incubator and internet consulting firms.

In the spring of 2011, Singerman coached a songwriting camp in Austria, where he met Jerry Lindqvist as well as singer/songwriters Ashley Fayth from Newfoundland, Canada and Nanna Larsen from Denmark. In September, Singerman was a panelist at the Cutting Edge Music Conference in New Orleans, where he met and heard the music of Texan artist, Tiffany Shea, who currently resides in Nashville.

In October, at the invitation of Singerman, Ashley Fayth, Tiffany Shea and Jerry Lindqvist & The Grace played an official CMJ showcase together in NYC. They all discussed co-touring in 2012, starting with SXSW in March. As a seasoned US touring veteran, Tiffany Shea agreed to coordinate and book a tour from Nashville to Austin and then up to Toronto for CMW; co-producing alongside Singerman the “First Annual International Songwriters Tour.”
