2025

With a stunningly soulful sound and amazingly fun live shows, Gracie Curran & The High Falutin’ Band has been wowing audiences from Boston, MA to Beale Street and beyond for over a decade.

Since coming together in 2010, the band has released two albums, garnering the attention and praise of critics and fans alike; their original music a blend of blues, soul and the best of Americana, earning a Blues Music Award nomination for Best New Artist and taking home a Boston Music Award for Artist of the Year.

Long-time Boston Globe critic Steve Morse called the singer “a force of nature” with a “Mavis Staples-like voice that can raise chills.” Bill Hurley of the California-based The Alternate Root was stirred to describe her as “A five-alarm stew of blues, gospel and soul that burns in your gut like the first time you heard Aretha Franklin’s ‘I Never Loved A Man. Pass the cool water please’”

Gracie Curran & The High Falutin’ Band features singer and Fun Captain Gracie Curran, with Chris Hersch on Guitar, Owen Eichensehr on Drums, and Geoff Murfitt on bass.
