If you haven&#8217;t had the opportunity yet, be sure to take in this show.<\/p>\n<p>An incredibly talented young singer\/songwriter\/guitarist\/vocalist, Gracie hails from Oakville, Ontario. Her voice has been compared to singers such as Etta James, Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone. Though capable in any genre, she favours jazz RnB, and her compositions portray hauntingly honest lyrics combined with groove and soul. She never disappoints, delivering an entertaining set that perfectly showcases her signature powerful vocals and improvisations.<\/p>\n<p>Gracie covers a lot of ground in her performances, with a remarkable vocal range that transitions easily from the dulcet trill of the jazz era to the vocal acrobatics of today&#8217;s popular music. She&#8217;s no slouch on guitar either, pumping out riffs that complement every groove. Many of the songs she plays are her own originals, which blend smoothly with well-chosen covers for a well-paced and well-rounded set that you&#8217;re sure to enjoy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chuck Jackson<\/h2>\n<p>Enjoy a night of feel-good music with Tyler Yarema and Chuck Jackson as part of Mrs. Mitchell\u2019s Dinner Concert Series.<\/p>\n<p>Co-founder of the Southside Shuffle festival in Port Credit and front man for Downchild Blues Band, Chuck Jackson has been a force in the Canadian blues scene for over four decades, receiving a Distinguished Career Award from the Toronto Blues Society, multiple Maple Blues Awards and numerous other honours.
