Several years ago I wanted to record some songs that my husband and I had written in Nashville and New Haven, before I released “Time and the Weather” and “Easy Street” (as Callie Cardamon). “Easy Street” had brought me a tiny indie following as a standards singer, and I didn’t want to confuse listeners or DJs, so I created my alter-ego to sing these folky tunes.  At first it was just a fun game—creating a new identity—but C.C. soon took over my musical life. I've recorded three collections (you can sample them here), and I'm currently at work on a fourth collection of original C.C. Grace material.
