Bowen Island singer and jewelry designer Christie Grace will celebrate the release of her third album, Golden Thread, on September 17th with a special concert at the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s Pyatt Hall
Grace says it was just as she was ready to start recording the album that “all hell broke loose.”
There was a root canal that went wrong, an infection that poisoned her system, and uncertainty about whether she would ever be able to sing again.
“I persevered with the support of family, friends and my medical team,” she says. “This album release is really a celebration of being out the other side.”
The album itself, made up of 13 jazz-pop songs, and Grace says it was always intended to be about healing.
“Its lifespan is a total of six years. When I actually started recording three years ago it was a slow and painful process. I retreated, I cocooned. It’s a lifetime healing story,” she says. . “It’s about revisiting life’s greatest and darkest moments to achieve an inner peace as we move through this beautiful and surprising world.”
