After releasing her third album “Ramona,” in July, Grace Cummings is thrilled to be playing the Atheneum Theatre with special guest, Gareth Liddiard as part of Always Live.
Ramona has been described as a work of raw truth rendered in its most beautiful form. In a departure from the self-produced approach of her 2019 debut Refuge Cove and its 2022 follow-up Storm Queen—the Melbourne-based artist worked with producer Jonathan Wilson (Angel Olsen, Father John Misty, Margo Price) at his Topanga Canyon studio to dream up a lavishly orchestrated sound that fully accommodates the depth and scope of her vocal prowess.
With its visceral reflection on grief and self-destruction and emotional violence, Ramona brings a stunning new grandeur to Cummings’ music while refusing to soften or temper its humanity.
Cummings imbues all of Ramona with an unbridled theatricality—an element on glorious display in the album’s title track. “I wrote that at a time when I wasn’t doing well and had the sense that other people saw me as a weak little bird,” says Cummings, who mined inspiration from Bob Dylan’s 1964 song “To Ramona.” “I didn’t want to be myself so I decided to be Ramona instead, full of intensity and melodrama. For me there’s a lot of safety in putting on a costume or a mask; sometimes it feels like the only way to express any true honesty or vulnerability.”
Grace has spent the year touring around the globe, headlining shows in the US, Uk and Europe, as well as supporting King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. She and her band have sold out an Australian tour on their return, so are playing one last, very special show. Grace and her band will be joined by many special guests for the final show of 2024.
