Grace Knight

Grace Knight has wowed crowds for over 40 years since working her passage to Australia as a singer on a cruise liner in 1977. Her current show takes the audience on a journey across those years. Audiences are loving the mix of material from her solo career, along with delicate interpretations of Eurogliders' biggest hits.

She released her 9th solo album, 'Grace', in 2018 following on from 2016's 'Fragile'. 'Grace' is an eclectic mix of sensitive reworkings of some Eurogliders' classics, jazz standards and new songs, and sees Grace at the absolute peak of her vocal powers.

Grace Knight is one of the most enduring talents in Australian music with ARIA awards and nominations, and chart-topping recordings in each of the past three decades.

She blew audiences away in the eighties as the lead singer of internationally successful band Eurogliders. She captivated fans with her "Manic Ballerina" stage persona. Eurogliders performed to a TV audience of 65 million people on the MTV New Year's special in 1984 and racked up multiple Platinum and Gold albums and singles.

As a solo artist, she lit up the screen in ABC TV's award-winning mini-series, Come In Spinner. The soundtrack album to Come In Spinner went on to become the highest-selling Australian jazz album of all time. A string of successful solo albums followed.
