JEANNE PHILLIPS

She has performed all over this city and many others in the eastern states as a soloist for intimate settings of 7 up to convention crowds of 10,000. While strongly influenced by the jazz stylings of Ella Fitzgerald and Diana Krall and the pop stylings of Norah Jones and Eva Cassidy, Jeanne creates her own unique interpretations that are inspired, inventive, and artistically crafted to create and sustain just the right mood.
Jeanne loves to pull her audience into a song's expression of the heart and varied emotions of the soul.
Open for business as usual. 6:30am-9pm.
Nashville based musician, Grace Shuley, has been honing her songwriting skills for years. Since picking up the guitar in 2023, Grace has blended new forms of indie and alternative music to create her own unique sound.
Her inspiration comes from her mother, a commercial pianist composer, who forced her to take piano as a child--which taught her the value of determination and grit. Grace’s daring, poignant music serves as an alter-ego for her bright, hilarious personality.
