The Long Table Lates: grace lightman
We’re excited to welcome Grace Lightman to The Old Department Store on Thursday 5th November for the next event in our live music series, The Long Table Lates!
Grace Lightman creates indie pop that sits somewhere between the familiar and the unexpected, blending bold synth-driven worlds with intimate songwriting, playful ideas and a distinctive sense of character.
Since emerging with her solo project, Grace has released multiple singles, EPs and her critically acclaimed debut full-length concept album 'Silver Eater' in 2019. Her music has earned support from BBC Introducing South West, including appearances on Front Row and a Maida Vale session, and has seen her perform across the UK. Originally from London, Grace relocated to Devon, where she has found a creative home and a new perspective on her sound.
Known for her imaginative approach to production and storytelling, Grace’s music pairs experimental textures with melodies that feel instantly recognisable. Her work draws from classic pop sensibilities while pushing them into stranger, more futuristic territory. Grace is now embarking on her second LP, developing a new writing and recording practice that allows her to create music that feels expansive yet achievable in a live setting. Where previous records embraced huge arrangements and complex layers, this new chapter focuses on connection, simplicity and empowerment to create songs that can breathe both in the studio and on stage.The result is unexpected synth pop with a subtle ease and charm. Grace Lightman's music invites listeners into a richly imagined, emotionally honest sonic work which is unmistakably her.
