Bre Gregg: Press

 

"Portland’s Bre Gregg has called Montana and New York home, but her heart wanders everywhere, encompassing the worlds of jazz and blues, not to mention classical music. Gifted with a not-too-thick, not-too-thin alto, she truly uses her voice like an instrument, something a lot of singers claim to do but few do with complete control. Listening to her is like hearing a classy horn player who realizes it’s not what you’re saying but how you say it that makes people really want to put down their salad forks and listen."

“Bre Gregg has a beautiful voice and a very stylish presence.  Her musicality and charm are powerful attributes that she uses to great effect on audiences of all tastes.  She has a lightness and ease in her approach that disarms the listener.  Bre can sing jazz or more pop-oriented music with equal ease and her sunny fun attitude is just the icing on the cake.”

“Bre Gregg...a newcomer to the Portland music scene...has proven that she has what it takes...style, heart, and the love of making music.”

Bre is a unique talent whose repertoire ranges from Ella Fitzgerald to John Prine, Miles Davis to Bonnie Rait, Tom Jobim to Tom Waits.and that's just for starters. "Jazzy, Bluesy Americana music" is what it's all about.  She is lighting up the local musical skyline and we are honored to have her join us! She is a silky, silky soul sender...

“Bre Gregg warmly received my guests with her smooth vocal sounds. She was a perfect touch to this networking event for the business to business community.”

“Bre gave us a highly polished, sophisticated musical performance that added a truly memorable element to a fun and successful evening. Our donors loved the added touch of having such a wonderful vocalist join us.”  

"A wonderful new vocalist in town is Bre Gregg, a former opera singer who has been “called” to jazz."

 “What’s a great jazz album? Perhaps a more apt question would be, what’s a great album? My vote: On the Wind by Bre Gregg.”

“Bre was amazing at my party! She was wonderful to work with before, during, and after the event. Bre is a unique combination of talent: highly responsive to meet the needs of our party, incredible voice that can melt a room, and connected to local musical talent to get any instrument combination. I highly recommend her for any event where you want great music and a dedicated, reliable musician who truly goes the extra mile."

“Bre Gregg brings a new life and sound to blues and jazz, and is a much needed breath of fresh air. Her cut to the bone, soul filled lyrics bring on a sense of sadness and tempered happiness all at once, and leaves the fluff at the door. Her voice is reminiscent of the classics, but has an edge and character all her own."

“You should check her out she is amazing. Her name is Bre Gregg – she’s a sweet little red head with a big voice…” 

“Bre sounds great with a stellar accompaniment by some if the best. Really sweet to hear her sing with her Dad.”

“Bre has such an amazingly soulful and beautiful voice! You can really sense her passion for the art of music. I cannot wait for an opportunity to hear her sing live! Bravo!”

“Bre Gregg’s CD warmed my heart. I played Bre's version of Angel from Montgomery repeatedly and have kept the CD in my car ever since. Kudos for such a strong performance on her first album!!!” 

"What particularly impressed me about Ms. Greggs' talent was her ability to make it seem so easy. Just stand up in front of a crowd and open your mouth and deliver lyrics from a wide range of styles in a graceful and almost casual seeming manner..of course with great phrasing and soul as well. This is one of the secrets of any great artist..think Ella Fitzgerald or Mel Torme who would simply beam it out with love and a low key delivery that belied the extreme training and talent that it takes to make it look so simple…”
