Melissa Ellis Jazz-Blues Singing Pianist

Known as the Southern Spitfire of Jazz, I’m a 2022 Josie Award nominee for Jazz/Blues Vocalist and a 2020 International Blues Challenge quarterfinalist who plays piano/keys and a little acoustic guitar. Set ranges from original music to jazz, blues, and blue-eyed soul. American Songbook standards, 1960’s Stax R&B, to soulful 80’s, 90’s and present day tunes. Classy, snazzy, and jazzy.
Sound equipment available. Drummer available by request.

I work closely with clients to meet their needs for their event, whether they’re looking for background music or a night of jazz!
