True Professional

Hello my friends!

Here's a few updates from The Grace Headquarters...

The leading Finnish Weekly in North America, Vapaa Sana, wrote about my grand visit to the Canadian Music Week in Toronto in their 13/2012 issue alongside the other Finnish acts Neufvoin and Felix Zenger. I evidently stated that I'm too old for Pop so that's why I'm a Country musician, man I must've been tired after my flight :-)


The song True Professional that I co-wrote with the talented Kevin Charge and Duncan Townsend in Austria last year is coming out on Duncan's upcoming album Up Sides Down (out on Familyhouse Records on April 20). I'm very excited about that and I highly recommend you all check out Duncan Townsend at www.duncantownsend.com and you can pre-order the album here: www.amazon.de





We had a wonderful band rehearsal with The Grace last Sunday. The band sounds great so you all should definitely come out to the shows in Helsinki (Henry's Pub, Thursday May 10) and Porvoo (Bar Soho, Friday May 11) next month! I'm looking forward to playing with these crazy cats once again.



Ok for now,

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,

News from The Grace Headquarters

Dear Music Lovers,

Although the US part of the International Songwriters Tour did not work out as planned for The Grace, we're still happy that 1/3 of The Grace Trio is rockin' USA along with Tiffany Shea, Nanna Larsen and Ashley Fayth. We're also super proud to be Featured Artists on voyageairguitar.com! Here's a video from Nashville, TN and Hotel Indigo with our guitar slinger Oskar Nyman, Ashley Fayth and Andreas Larsen performing Ashley's wonderful tune Oscar. Thank you Voyage-Air Guitar!


Jerry will be joining forces with Oskar and the rest of the IST gang in Toronto, Canada next week for Canadian Music Week...

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!

Jerry
