Semler is the musical project of American singer-songwriter Grace Baldridge, whose folk songs examine queer identity, faith and life within evangelical Christianity. The 2021 EP Preacher’s Kid made Semler the first openly queer artist to top the iTunes Christian albums chart; their catalog also includes Late Bloomer and the songs “Jesus from Texas,” “Bethlehem” and “Youth Group.” In 2022, Semler joined Relient K’s Um Yeah Tour as support and performed in clubs and theatres across the United States. The following year, they appeared at the Love Rising benefit at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, where the lineup also included Hayley Williams, Hozier and Sheryl Crow.
