KJZZ is partnering with the Arizona Republic to bring you the Arizona Storytellers project on the radio. Storytellers in Phoenix share their stories at live events in town. Some of the stories are about living here, some are not.


Grace Rolland is a singer and songwriter in Phoenix band. A couple of years ago, she went on a personal vacation to channel her creative songwriting and ended up in Seattle.

While there, she started writing a love song about a blackberry bramble bush, but she didn’t know what it meant or what she was going to do with the words.

Then one night she met a tall, handsome man at a square dance.

Grace Rolland is a singer and cellist in the Phoenix band Run Boy Run.

Join Arizona Storyteller's next night of live storytelling Thursday, April 9, at Sip Coffee Bar in Scottsdale. To learn more about the Arizona Storytellers, visit storytellers.azcentral.com.
