Contemplation by Christie Grace

Christie Grace's second studio album, Contemplation, was a Thunder Bay homecoming of sorts when it brought the opportunity to record with Paul Shaffer, then Musical Director of the Late Show with David Letterman in New York.

Contemplation revealed a moody, introverted Grace at a reflective period of her life after the death of her Mother where she found solace in Contemplation's originals and favorite standards arranged by her long time collaborator, Bill Runge.

Released in 2007, that recording led to sold-out concert appearances and a prestigious vocal scholarship from Interplay Jazz & Arts in Vermont, where Christie was mentored by National Endowment of the Arts Jazz Master Shelia Jordan.

“Christie Grace has a sound that washes over you like sweet honey and fine wine. She has it all.”
- Paul Shaffer, Canadian Music Icon and former Musical Director for Late Night with David Letterman
