Grace Ives

Grace Ives will perform at the Frannz Club in Berlin on June 12, 2026. The New York–based songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist made the leap from the digital scene to larger stages with her album Janky Star (2022). Her tracks blend a DIY ethos, bedroom pop, lo-fi electronica and new wave; tight drum‑machine grooves, clear synth lines and a prominent lead vocal keep the songs compact and direct.

Lyrically, Ives takes a sharp look at life online and offline: loneliness, dating apps, the pressure to constantly self‑optimize, dopamine hits and the perpetual fatigue of a world of constant availability. In performance she emphasizes lyrics and hooks that lodge themselves without any excess. Stripped‑back arrangements, precise patterns and melodic repetitions push the pieces forward while the connection with the audience remains immediate. At the Frannz Club her minimalist pop meets a live setting that creates intimacy and brings the core elements of her songs to the fore.
