FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — Grace Graber closed out a banner year with two massive November single releases: her take on Forrest Frank and The Figs’ smash hit “Lemonade,” which has amassed well over 2 million views between TikTok and Instagram, and “His Favorite Christmas Story,” a deep cut from former Tooth & Nail pop punk band Capital Lights.

Grace has been dropping a series of praise songs in her own pop punk style, but “Lemonade” truly took on a life of its own.
“I chose ‘Lemonade’ because I thought it would be the goofiest,” Grace admits. “It was the most bizarre to watch that blowup and have such a response on day one the way it did. It was a kind of a relief, and very cathartic. It felt cool to now be the punk girl.”
That’s a feeling that Grace Graber has more than earned. Growing up deeply influenced by bands like Hawk Nelson, Stellar Kart and Capital Lights, Grace says, “I wanted to make that same impact. So this feels like confirmation that the Lord is going to use me in the pop punk room, like Him saying, ‘This is your place and you do belong.’”
Grace Graber has settled into that space after half a decade of being one of the hardest Christian musicians in Nashville. Beginning with more traditional CCM-oriented releases in 2020, Grace ultimately decided to be faithful to the kind of music she knew resonated most with her own spirit in pivoting to punk music. That’s the sound that has defined 2024 and 2025, including her full-length album The Breakthrough and this year’s EP Everything You Ever Wanted (named for the Hawk Nelson classic which she also covers).
That also led her to her choice for this year’s Christmas single.
No stranger to Christmas music, Grace Graber has successfully performed Christmas concerts for years now. But this year, she fully embraced her own identity by celebrating the season with a throwback hit from one of her favorites: 2008’s “His Favorite Christmas Story,” which appeared on Tooth & Nail’s X Christmas compilation in 2008.
“I still hear it played in Hot Topic, and I feel like it was one of the best original Christmas songs of the early 2000s,” Grace says frankly.
As in so many other cases, she’s carried the torch forward with the full blessing of the old guard: Capital Lights’ singer, Bryson Phillips, filmed a video endorsement of the track.
“You’ve gotta check out Grace Graber. She’s bringing punk rock music back in the 2020s, and we’re so honored because she just covered our Christmas song, ‘His Favorite Christmas Story,’” Bryson shared in his first message to fans in years.
“Lemonade” was produced by Josiah Prince (Disciple), who has deep ties to the classic punk era of Christian rock himself as a former member of Philmont. Blake Cross, Grace’s longtime collaborator, produced “His Favorite Christmas Story.” Headed into 2026, Grace Graber has promised that there are plenty more praise-goes-punk moments to come.
“I'm bringing back all these old songs, and I'm introducing them to the next generation. I'm introducing them, intertwining them with these covers of popular current Christian songs turned punk. It’s showing people this whole entire world — that's what I've been in love with,” Grace says earnestly. “The coolest part about all of this is people discovering who I am, then discovering my music, and then being impacted. I've had so many moms send me DMs where they're showing their kids ‘Lemonade’ and then my song ‘Grace of God’ is playing after. These eight-year-old girls now are obsessed because I did a song that they loved, and now they're even more open to listening to more songs. That's what I hope 2026 brings: just more open doors.”
With Grace’s hallmark sound and hard-won passion, those open doors are all but assured.
