STARBUCKS takes on “Baby Come Down” for the month of Jan! (Press Release)

January 11, 2012

She may have the disarming beauty and down-to-earth charm of the girl next door, but you don’t mess with Grace Weber. She’s a force to be reckoned with…

In the short time since the self-release of her debut album Hope & Heart, Weber has garnered not only a sizable fan base, even outside of her native Milwaukee where she remains at headlining status, but from coast to coast. The album’s release in late September clinched a sustained top ten spot on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts coinciding, as well, with a triumphant performance at the French Commemoration of 9/11 in Paris, Grace having been the only New York pop singer asked to take part, entertaining the likes of dignitaries from all over Europe, as well as the Mayor of Paris and the French Ambassador to the United States.

Now Weber takes it global, not with a worldwide tour (yet), but through the good graces of Starbucks, who will be adding Hope & Heart track, “Baby Come Down,” to the well-placed playlist of their roughly 10,000 well-trafficked locations all over the Big Blue Marble on January 3rd for the remainder of that month.

Weber has been doing great in the press, Billboard giving her “Artist To Watch” status, American Songwriter posting her heartfelt cover of Warren Zevon’s “Reconsider Me,” and Power Popaholic saying of Hope & Heart, “… this Milwaukee native has a terrific voice… the bouncy guitar of “Stay of Leave” will win you over. The poignant and soulful approach to “Leave the Light On” will keep you transfixed — and then it lights up with “Hitchhiker.”

And for fans wishing to catch Grace in concert, a two-week Midwest run (WI, IL, MN) is set to commence in the second week of March, anchored by a support slot with Colin Hay at Milwaukee’s prestigious Turner Hall.  A few great one-off shows are also scheduled prior to the March tour including a show at NYC’s Rockwood Music Hall on January 17 and a February 12th taping of NPR’s MOUNTAIN STAGE in Charleston, WV.  Expect festival dates in the U.S. and abroad this summer, to boot.
