MITCHELL OPERA HOUSE
Grace Maher was born and raised in Kansas with her 6 sisters and 3 brothers. Although music was a part of the home, she did not pursue singing until April of 2014. At that time, Grace joined a band and about 6 months later, formed another under her own name. By September of 2014, she was performing 1-4 shows a week! In August of the following year, Grace resigned from a career job and relocated to Nashville to become a full-time musician.
Grace has been a special guest performing with Casi Joy to open for LoCash Cowboys, opened for Natalie Stoval and the Drive, and performed at Birthday Bash prior to acts like Joe Diffie, Trick Pony and Kid Rock.
Grace resides in Nashville and is currently performing and working on new music. She still loves to visit her parents and gather with family on their farm in Leavenworth, KS.
