Show Announcement: GrandAce Opening for Kiefer - 09/27
I know it’s been a MINUTE but a lot has been going on! But if you read the title, you see that I, GrandAce, am opening for the legendary KIEFER on September 27 at the Ludlow Garage in Clifton!
This opportunity is crazy cause I was just chilling on evening, and I look at my phone and I see a message asking if I was down. At this point, I’ve been listening to Kiefer for YEARS, so it was a no brainer. I didn’t care if I had work, court, or to save the galaxy, I was saying yes on this one.
I’m hoping that I get to see some beautiful familiar and new faces there at the show. I try not to do a lot of ticketed shows, cause I’m never really sure if I have the draw for them, but I thought this one was special.
ALSO this will be the first time I get to perform Lavalamp Cosmic, so I’m stoked about that!
I’m finalizing the set list as we speak.
Again hope to see you there!

2022 Recap: Virtual Memory Unit
Virtual Memory Unit EP: it’s that year wrap season, and I was thinking on what I’ve done and it slipped me that this year has actually been hella fruitful. I want to take some time and revisit milestones with you all as the year comes to a close. 🥺 this will be the first part!
Starting off the year, I dropped an EP called, Virtual Memory Unit. This project declared my escape from everything I was unable to change at the time like covid, shifting relationships, and being disgustingly broke.
At the time I was playing a lot of Dreamcast and PS2 to get some peace. While playing I observed how everything was so simple in these games/culture. There were no updates, plenty of cheat codes, online forums, a ton of variety, low prices, list goes on. I wanted to channel that in the present while working with the tools I had access to. To create a cozy space worthy of a lounge only depicted in retrofuturistic mock-ups that connect people from all walks and allow one to just exist and be.
The EP originally started as 2-songs and blossomed into something special to me and I ended up with one of my favorite projects. I’m so grateful for everyone that was able to connect with it.
