Flip Grater - Tour and New Album
Flip Grater is pleased to announce a nationwide tour in support of the release of her new album Be All And End All.
For the first time, Flip will be joined on the road by her handsome backing band consisting of Kris Wilson (banjo), Simon Hall (mandolin, electric guitar), Tim Chesney (bass) and Simon Brouwer (drums).
Flip's new album Be All And End All features a choir of 12 including the voices of Anita Clarke (Ragamuffin Children), Ben Edwards (Degrees K) and Flips sister Helen Grater.
The first single Ring Around The Rosie can be seen and heard on Amplifier now. The imaginative video was filmed by Gorilla Pictures and features a slow-motion ping-pong match and a band-filled commentary box.
A versatile singer/songwriter, Flips music is described as acoustic guitar-based repertoire bridging dirty indie-folk and delicate introverted lullabies. Her intimate live act and her recorded work alike have garnered wide critical acclaim.
