Live Nation Presents
For Gracie Abrams, writing songs is a matter of stripping away all artifice and getting to the raw truth of her experience: her desires and infatuations, missteps and small triumphs. In the making of her debut album Good Riddance, the 23-year-old artist deliberately slipped into a secluded creative environment for the sake of magnifying her music’s lived-in intimacy—a carefully honed quality that’s won her a devoted following and recently led to such milestones as opening for Taylor Swift on her blockbuster Eras Tour.
Created in close collaboration with The National’s Aaron Dessner (her sole producer/co-writer on the album), Good Riddance ultimately documents a particularly painful and transformative period in Abrams’s life, imbuing every track with an unvarnished honesty that’s equal parts captivating and cathartic.
