Gillian Grassie (say "Jillian") is a 24 year-old, Swiss & American harpist/singer-songwriter whose signature blend of jazz-inflected indie folk/pop showcases her “knack for turning seemingly insignificant events into songs worthy of everyone’s attention,” (Origivation Magazine). She is based in Philadelphia, NYC, and Berlin, Germany. Frequently weaving stories and banter into sets more evocative of Regina Spektor than Joanna Newsom, Grassie’s charming, comfortable, and engaging stage presence has won her a growing audience of devoted listeners across the United States and as far abroad as France, Germany, India, China, and Russia. Of her live performance, Grammy-winner Marc Cohn has said: “It’s rare to hear a young singer with such control and understated soulfulness, and even more rare to hear a harp provide such a deep percussive groove. I was immediately captivated by her sound.” She is a versatile and seasoned performer who has played at major festivals, colleges, listening rooms, radio stations, underground Berlin nightclubs, and even on a moving train in Bombay.
