ABOUT THE BAND:
The Naked Grace Missionaries are a formidable acoustic trio delivering sermons as songs from the bible of popular and unpopular culture. Singing unheard protest songs from an unknown era, their sound is a dirt road to a tender dawn, a magick proclamation and a howl in desperate hours of the night.
Imagine late night acid soaked sing-a-longs with Charles Manson at Spahn Ranch, the final moments of The Wicker Man and the Heaven’s Gate cult collide. Not afraid of the darkness, but reveling in the ecstatic, NGM is the sound of the pain of a dystopian future channeled through the unquiet ghosts of the past. The songs are crafted with the love of classic singer songwriter material we all adore from previous eras, but without a desire to replicate any particular band or style, just to be true to lush melody, challenging arrangements and intriguing concepts.
