Chasing Grace is a British duo consisting of Philip Plested and Grace Ackerman, emerging from Hertfordshire during the early 2010s indie-pop boom. Their sound identity is defined by a sophisticated blend of folk-influenced songwriting and soulful vocal performances, often categorized alongside the 'stomp and holler' movement but with a more polished, R&B-inflected vocal delivery.
Phil Plested has since become a highly successful songwriter for global pop stars, a talent evident in the duo's sharp melodic sensibilities and structural precision. Their career arc peaked with the 2015 release of 'Nowhere Near Old Enough,' which showcased their ability to merge chamber-pop arrangements with radio-friendly hooks. Critically, they were noted for their maturity and the technical prowess of their vocal interplay. They occupy a space in the UK scene that bridges the gap between the earnest folk-rock of The Dunwells and the more upbeat, guitar-driven pop of Eliza and the Bear, serving as a sophisticated alternative to the era's more generic boy-band pop.
