Grady McAuliffe is a northern country artist with a unique story and a set of influences to match. He was a rocker in his early years, who cut his teeth on everything from the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Cream and The Doors, while playing in a number of local Connecticut bands.
“When I first picked up the guitar and started playing music I was playing rock songs from the 60’s and 70’s. Then I got into the grunge era with bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice and chains. I’ve never really had one idol or band that I gravitated towards, just depended on what I was going through in my life at the time for that defined what song or artist I was connecting with,” said McAuliffe.
McAuliffe's appreciation for well crafted melody and lyrics is clearly apparent in his latest song "On the Edge," telling a story of "over-thinking, and over-drinking," amidst the break up of a romantic relationship. It was perfect fuel for a country rock song, in the classic storyteller tradition. Yet listening to the song, there is no question that McAuliffe is singing from a place of experience and honesty.
“This chapter isn’t just about making music—it’s about reclaiming my voice, reconnecting with my roots, and proving that some stories are never finished. I’m not just chasing a career, I’m following a deeper calling,” he said.
