Last weekend at the iconic Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown, California, voice actress-turned-singer Grey DeLisle found herself in the spotlight for an unexpected reason. Halfway through a rousing rendition of one of her folk-country songs, her vintage Reformation dress began to unzip—right on stage.
Wardrobe Malfunction Mid-set
According to DeLisle’s Instagram caption, “My dress started to unzip mid-song during our Pappy & Harriet’s show and Eddie Clendening had to take care of it! 😂” A quick-thinking Eddie Clendening—guitarist with her backing band The Blue Ribbon Boys—stepped in, re-zipping the dress and letting DeLisle carry on seamlessly. Jody Mannas, credited for the shot, captured the moment just before Clendening’s rescue.
Fans cheered as DeLisle laughed off the mishap and returned to the chorus, her confidence undimmed. Pappy & Harriet’s, a longtime desert music hot spot, has hosted everyone from rock legends to up-and-coming roots acts, and DeLisle’s crew took full advantage of the venue’s intimate stage.
Dual Career: From Voice Acting To Americana
Many know Grey DeLisle for her Emmy-nominated voice work—she’s the voice behind Blossom in The Powerpuff Girls, Azula in Avatar: The Last Airbender, and hundreds of other animated characters. But she’s also carved out a second act as a recording artist. Since releasing her debut album in 2017, DeLisle has toured small rooms and sold-out theaters, blending americana, country, and folk into a distinctive sound.
On stage at Pappy & Harriet’s, her vocals held the same clarity that made her a household name among animation fans. Backed by The Blue Ribbon Boys, she transitioned effortlessly between acoustic ballads and foot-stomping numbers, underscoring her reputation as a dual-talent performer.
Upcoming Concerts And Collaborations
DeLisle’s calendar is filling up fast. In a recent Instagram post, she teased an intimate night in the round with Grammy-nominated soul artist Aloe Blacc. Set for May 15 at The Nocturne Theatre in Pasadena, the concert will feature DeLisle’s blend of folk and country alongside Blacc’s powerful anthems. All proceeds benefit the Pasadena Waldorf School’s fire recovery fund—a cause DeLisle has championed.
She’s also slated for a weekend appearance at ATL Comic Convention, where fans can meet her voice acting alongside special guests. Through it all, she balances her animation career with a growing music profile, connecting with audiences in both realms.
On social media, DeLisle’s behind-the-scenes posts show her prepping for every gig, from costume fittings to soundchecks. But at Pappy & Harriet’s, it was the unplanned moment—a zipper on the fritz—that stole the show. Rather than derail the performance, it became a highlight, proof of her poise under pressure and her bond with a supportive band.
As the night wound down and the desert breeze drifted through the open doors, fans lingered at the bar, replaying the dress drama in techie detail. But to DeLisle, it was just another night of live music and backstage camaraderie—complete with a quick fix and a lot of laughs.
Whether she’s voicing an animated villain or strumming her guitar under the desert stars, Grey DeLisle remains a consummate professional. And if her wardrobe decides to stage a revolt again, you can bet she’ll handle it with a wink and a song.
