Prateek
With his heartbreakingly powerful voice and incisive lyrics, Prateek (pruh - TEEK) has been described as “Not just any guy with a guitar…” by The Boston Globe. When you hear his music, you'll believe it too. Evolving away from the spare, Dylan-esque sound of his first EP, Prateek’s latest album “‘Til June” adds gritty electric guitars, silvery backing vocals, and a driving rhythm section, all in service of his tightly written, evocative songcraft. Prateek has been a Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Finalist and has been nominated for Singer-Songwriter of the Year at both the New England Music Awards and the Boston Music Awards. His music has seen rotation all over the radio including Sirius XM, 98.9 WERS, and 92.5 The River. Listen to "'Til June" now wherever music is sold or streamed.
Grace Givertz
Hailing from the sunshine state of Florida, Grace Givertz captivates audiences with her indie folk compositions, blending earworm melodies with heartfelt storytelling. As a multi-instrumentalist, she infuses her music with a diverse array of sounds, weaving folk, Americana, and indie rock into a tapestry uniquely her own.
Drawing inspiration from her personal journey living with chronic illness, Givertz's music resonates with raw emotion and introspection. Her experiences infuse her songs with depth and authenticity, inviting listeners to explore themes of resilience and vulnerability.
Grace Givertz showcases her multi-instrumentalism on her debut album, Year of the Horse, playing guitar, banjo, mandolin, and harmonica in addition to vocals. Year of the Horse showcases Grace’s ability to turn lemons in to lemonade through song. “…The only real option is to smile at how much she packs into a tiny punch of a song,” Nina Corcoran writes in digboston.
She has also been heavily involved with the Black Opry, an organization dedicated to highlighting and supporting Black musicians in the country music industry. In 2023, this lead to her participating in WXPN’s Black Opry Residency in Philadelphia.
In a groundbreaking move, Givertz is currently working on her sophomore album, which exclusively features BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and/or disabled musicians. This collaborative effort not only amplifies underrepresented voices but also underscores her commitment to inclusivity and diversity within the music industry.
Givertz's talent shines bright, earning her acclaim for her captivating performances. She's been nominated for Boston Music Awards and received the City of Boston's Extraordinary Women Award for her contributions to music and community. Beyond accolades, she shares her expertise through songwriting workshops, including sessions with the Harvard Ed Portal, empowering others to authentically express themselves.
Grace Givertz's melodies resonate as beacons of authenticity, illuminating the indie folk landscape and reminding us of the enduring power of storytelling through song.
