Grace C. Elliot is an Anchorage-based musician who describes her music as dream pop with influences of blues and jazz. In 2020, she released her debut self-titled album. Earlier this year, she released a new single called “Alive.”

She’s had a busy summer, playing shows all over the state, including the Forest Fair in Gridwood, a free concert in Town Square Park, and Rock The Hill, an all-ages music festival at Hilltop Ski Area.

ATMI producer Indigo Schlee sat down with Grace in our studio. In their conversation Grace describes her journey in music, the Anchorage music scene, and a health scare in 2020 that informs some of her upcoming songs.

They spoke on July 13, 2025, the day after her show at Town Square Park, which was initially headlined by Vanessa Carlton. Carlton had to cancel days before the event, but it continued on as a free show with additional local acts added to the lineup.

Hosted by Rhys James.

Theme music by Kendrick Whiteman and Devin Shreckengost.
