Grace carried this momentum when she performed as an "Official Showcase Artist,"at the 2010 International Folk Alliance conference, where she captured the attention of John Platt, Rich Warren and many others as one of the young standouts. Later that spring Grace won the Wildflower Performing Songwriter Contest Grand Prize, and the "People's Choice" award.

Grace went on to join the Storyville Coffee "Freedom Tour" with the likes of Willie Porter, David Wilcox, and Pierce Pettis. After touring with Storyville Coffee in the summer she continued to tour in various arrangements from solo, to duo performances with Pierce Pettis, to trio performances with Billy Crockett and Dirje Smith.

Grace recently solidified her reputation as an accomplished songwriter with her win at this year's Kerrville New Folk Contest, as well as being asked to perform at the 2011 Falcon Ridge Emerging Artist Showcase.
