Gracie Caggiano

Gracie Caggiano is an eclectic poet-composer, performer, and producer. Empathetic and fatefully existential, Gracie muses on complex emotions, crafting poetic spaces where listeners can speculate about love, vulnerability, and disability. Whether songwriting in popular genres or composing concert music, Gracie synthesizes diverse stylistic elements from her popular-music background and classical training. Gracie creates embodied music which champions the limitations of her disability and reclaims the aesthetic value of fragility. As a performer, she is known for her hauntingly beautiful vocals and authentic delivery. Her idiosyncratic guitar work often employs alternate tunings to facilitate weakness in her hands, resulting in colorful harmonic progressions. In May 2024, Gracie released her debut album "I can’t be anything but human." She has since appeared on many local stages, participated in programs like the Heartland Arts KC Fellowship, and performed at the 2025 KC Folk Festival.
