When Grace Morrison of Grace and the RSO went to perform on WPRI 12’s The Rhode Show recently, she was so impressed with the food portion of the program that being the focus of a live television show broadcasted to hundreds of thousands of homes in the area was put on the back burner, at least for a moment or so.

“My favorite part was watching them prepare the cooking portion of The Rhode Show,” she said laughingly in a recent interview. “The food just smelled amazing.”

Though she was taken with the food angle of the show, Grace, who is from Wareham, said that after their appearance, looking back at herself and the band performing their song “The Trouble” from the comfort of her own home was an unusual experience.

“It was pretty surreal to watch myself on Fox with my Dad,” she said.

Grace said she and her band, an Americana/indie/folk quintet based out of Fairhaven/Dartmouth, made it onto The Rhode Show (which focuses on music, food, and having an overall good time in Southern New England) after submitting a video for their 2014 Big Break contest.

From there, they made it through to the top five, where they were chosen to come in and perform live along with four other groups, with the winner to be chosen by voters through WPRI’s voting site.

She said that results for the contest will be aired on this Thursday’s show, and that voting was open until midnight tonight. She added that voters can vote up to 1,000 times, and she encouraged them to do so.

“You can vote up to 1000 times, and we need you!,” she said to her fans via the band’s Facebook page.

If Grace and the RSO (which stands for Really Small Orchestra) are chosen as the winners, they will obtain the right to get a professionally made music video courtesy of Cardi’s Furniture that is set to air locally during the upcoming finale of American Idol. They also played a show at Cardi’s this past Saturday night along with the other four contestants, and if they win the Big Break, they’ll get to perform at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, Rhode Island, as well.

The band will also release a brand new album coming out soon entitled “Nothing to Lose.”

All silliness aside, Grace said that she and the band really enjoyed their time spent performing on The Rhode Show.

“It was really awesome to be on a professional news set,” she said.
