Gracie Jay / VYLLA

  • Trident Booksellers & Cafe 940 pearl street Boulder, CO 80302 USA (map)

Multi talented arranger and vocalist, Gracie Jay has performed and recorded with artists including Cyrille Aimee, Nicholas Payton, Camille Thurman, Jamison Ross and more. Her written works have been performed by groups including the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, Next Generation Big Band, and the New Guard Big Band. Part of a rare, niche category of talented female vocalists, Gracie is a powerful force on stage, simultaneously writing and arranging for the same large-ensembles she masterfully sings for.

VYLLA - is a genre-fluid electronic trio from Hanover, Germany which has been founded in April 2022. A blend of Neo-Soul, Hip Hop, Electronic Music, Art Pop and Jazz creates a special and hypnotizing atmosphere at their concerts. Creating new sounds, mixing genres, breaking boundaries, using lots of effects, composing with the imagination of having a whole orchestra and catapulting the audience into ecstasy. Their compositions make up an urban, extravagant style and transport yourself to the rooms of a dark, dancey disco. Spheric synthesizer sounds broken by Drum 'n' Bass Grooves, which are supported by strong basslines. The instrumental foundation is underpinned by political and honest lyrics, but also vulnerable and mystical vocal lines that take the audience into various circles of thoughts and moods. Through the use of effects, listeners are opened up to an experimental, abstract world in which they have not been immersed before.
