She sings!
Grace Fae and the Grandbirds is a vintage jazz band based in Los Angeles, specializing in swinging songs from the 1920s- 1940s, with some French and Spanish tunes. Grace is a versatile vocalist with the warm resonance of Peggy Lee, classical training, and an improvisational style like Ella Fitzgerald. The Grandbirds can perform primarily 1920s tunes for a Gatsby party, 1940s for a WW2 themed event, mid- tempo swing dance tunes perfect for dancers, late night contemporary jazz. and even have an entire set of classic vintage love tunes, customized for weddings and engagement parties. We also have a unique set of classic holiday jazz tunes.
