Portland-based award-winning singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kathryn Grimm returns with her electrifying new single, “Say Goodbye To The Blues.” A soaring, infectious pop-rock anthem, the track radiates pure joy, driven by a pulsing bass line, lilting melodies, and Grimm’s powerhouse vocals. At its heart, the song captures the transformative bliss of being in love, that effortless state where sorrow simply dissolves. As Grimm puts it, “Love and the Blues cannot coexist,” and she makes you believe it with every note.
Grimm’s career is as dynamic as her sound. A seasoned collaborator, she has worked alongside legendary artists including Jeff Buckley , who backed her in her original band GROUP THERAPY, and Michael Bolton, appearing as the featured guitarist in his video “Dance With Me.” She has jammed with Bo Diddley, earned praise from Al Hendrix for her rendition of “Spanish Castle Magic,” and built a catalog of acclaimed releases spanning blues, rock, and jazz. The Los Angeles Times famously wrote that she “pummels crowds into a blissful heap,” while Billy Hulting described her as a “Voice of an Angel… plays guitar like the Devil.”
With “Say Goodbye To The Blues,” Grimm once again proves why she’s such a commanding presence. It’s a feel-good anthem that uplifts, energizes, and leaves listeners riding that same bliss she celebrates, a vibrant reminder that when love takes hold, the blues don’t stand a chance.
