Story & Tune

Sydney-born Aussie americana artist Ben Grace and unapologetically Californian poet Karyn Thurston met for the first time weeks after they first said I love you, a blush-worthy whirlwind love story that landed them in a creative partnership writing a torrent of poignant original songs. Together now in their home studio in Portland, OR, they share a passion for the timeless art of lyrical storytelling, an affinity for an innovative cover tune, and a deep and abiding love for Johnny & June. Indie folk, or Americana Torch - Woody Guthrie meets The Civil Wars. Come for the trauma-informed harmony, stay for the story you'll tell.
