Grace Bowers Announces Highly-Anticipated Debut Album ‘Wine On Venus’ & Shares Soulful Title Track

While Grace Bowers isn’t yet old enough to vote, the 17-year-old guitarist has already achieved a high level of success. Bowers aims to take the next step in her rise with her debut album, Wine On Venus, set for release on August 9.

Grace Bowers is joined on Wine On Venus by her backing band The Hodge Podge, which consists of keyboardist Joshua Blaylock, drummer Brandon Combs, guitarist Prince Parker, vocalist Esther Okai-Tetteh and bassist Eric Fortaleza. Produced by Brothers Osborne‘s John Osborne, the nine-track effort features songwriting collaborations with such artists as Maggie Rose, Ben Chapman, Meg McRee and Lucie Silvas.

The Bay Area native who currently resides in Nashville previously released her debut single “Tell Me Why U Do That.” The song appears on Wine On Venus with the title track shared today.

“I’m so excited to share my first album with the world in August! It’s been a long time coming, and I’m proud of what was created with the incredible Hodge Podge and John Osborne producing,” Bowers said. “We recorded everything live, as it should be, for this sonic journey. I hope you love it as much as I do.”

Grace Bowers also weighed in on the title track. “My nana was 100 years old when she passed away last year. She would always tell me that when she died, she would be drinking wine on Venus,” Bowers recalled. “She was a little eccentric but thought that was just something so cool. When she passed, I wrote a song about it.”
