After Grace and producer/musician, Marcy Marxer played music at Eva's home post Eva's diagnosis, Eva told Marcy she had two favorite singers: Grace Griffith and Ella Fitzgerald.
Grace's Recording Label: Blix Street Records is also Eva Cassidy' label. Grace selflessly brought Eva's music to Bill Straw at Indie label, Blix Street, stating "There was a nightingale she feared we were going to lose." People around the world treasure Eva's music as a result. Grace Griffith lived the last 20 years of her life with Parkinson's Disease, and on June 5, 2021, we lost another divine songbird.
