Griesbach, Staci

“A vocalist who has taken risks and succeeded. Griesbach’s vocal range is exceptional.” (All About Jazz)

Staci Griesbach is a Los Angeles-based vocalist with a Signature Songbook Series of albums reimagining the Great American Songbook of Country Music in the style of Jazz while developing her own voice as a Singer/Songwriter. Staci’s latest fourth studio album “Christmastime” features four original Holiday songs, including the lead track “You and Me at Christmastime” and was featured in the Hallmark Channel’s A Very Vermont Christmas as well as among top Holiday Spotify Playlists in 2024.

Griesbach delivers “a savvy Los Angeles take on Nashville’s countrypolitan standards,” (Marc Myers, JazzWax), interpreting classic songs by Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, Shania Twain. Griesbach’s third studio album, My George Jones Songbook, earned her 4 stars in Downbeat magazine.

Griesbach’s line of “Songbook Singles” also showcases her interpretations of the classic Great American Songbook (Irving Berlin, Johnny Mercer) as well as other classic Songbooks of 20th Century American music (Carole King).

Currently, Griesbach just released “Asilomar,” an original bossa-nova inspired Jazz single and is working on a new album as well as new holiday music.

Rolling Stone premiered “Walkin’ After Midnight” from her debut album, My Patsy Cline Songbook, calling it “gorgeous.” In 2020, Griesbach was selected for the SXSW Music Festival as a Showcasing Artist.
