If nerditude had a formal name, it would be Grace Morrison. A proudly unconventional Cape Cod songwriter, she blends country storytelling, pop hooks, and Swamp Yankee grit into her trademarked sound, Saltwater Country. Pianist, accordion player, cranberry grower, and coffee roaster, Morrison’s music is as endearing, specific, and memorable as the coast that raised her.

Born and raised on the shores of Cape Cod, Grace Morrison has trademarked a sound she calls Saltwater Country. “I was always too pop for folk and too folk for country. Eventually, I started peeling back the layers of my music to find out what truly made it mine. At the heart of it all was my deep, undeniable connection to the Cape Cod coastline—it’s in my blood, in my voice, in every lyric I write. My music carries the storytelling of country, the twang, but also the raw, unshakable spirit of a Swamp Yankee. That’s Saltwater Country.”

Produced by Jon Evans (Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan), the album ranges from the gritty, swampy Poor Man’s Daughter—a raw reflection on growing up with nothing—to the fun, twang-filled Beer in a Teacup, an anthem about embracing imperfections and letting self-doubt roll off your shoulders. It’s the sound of an artist who’s found her confidence, embraced her quirks, and learned that sometimes, when life gets messy, you just pour your beer in a teacup and move on.
