Gracie McGraw delivered an emotional performance of “My Buddy” during the American Heart in WWI: A Carnegie Hall Tribute in New York City in April, a show blending music and storytelling to recount World War I through the lens of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. A brief preview clip of her rendition was just shared ahead of the full broadcast on PBS scheduled for Veteran’s Day (November 11). The tribute, created and narrated by historian John Monsky and directed by Michael Mayer, features a star-studded cast and was met with enthusiastic support from McGraw’s famous parents, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, who attended the performance. Gracie shared a carousel of photos on Instagram following the event, captioning her post, “We did it. I love these freaks.” The 28-year-old singer also announced an upcoming show at Joe’s Pub in NYC on November 10 titled, “Where I’m At Right Now.” (People)
