Staci Griesbach is a Los Angeles-based vocalist bringing together her passion for Country Music and Jazz as she specializes in reimagining the Great American Songbook of Country Music in the style of Jazz. Griesbach’s Songbook series features the music of Patsy Cline, Shania Twain, Dolly Parton, and her most recent full-length album, My George Jones Songbook.
Rolling Stone lauded Griesbach’s first single “Walkin’ After Midnight” off her 2019 debut album My Patsy Cline Songbook as “a gorgeous jazz interpretation.” DownBeat magazine gave her George Jones album a four-star review and has said “Griesbach achieves her aim of paying tribute not through imitation, but by exploring new possibilities through new artistry.”
Griesbach’s mission is to celebrate and bridge together two beloved American Art forms: Country Music and Jazz. Her interpretations demonstrate the strength and versatility of the Songbook of Country Music, as the arrangements add layers and depth to the pure and honest three chords and the truth. Griesbach’s Songbook celebrations are inspired by the work of the great producer Norman Granz, who steered Ella Fitzgerald in her series of releases honoring the songwriters of the Great American Songbook. Griesbach also serves as producer for her Songbook series and oversees releasing, marketing and creative for her independent label.
Griesbach’s latest Songbook album was released in September of 2021 celebrating the 90th birthday of legendary country music star George Jones. My George Jones Songbook is her third album featuring 14 of Jones’ classic hits. The album has drawn critical acclaim from the Country music community as well as mainstream and Jazz critics. Songwriter Bobby Braddock calls the album, “genius” and penned the inside liner notes for the physical release. All About Jazz says “this recording is by a vocalist who has taken risks and succeeded. Griesbach’s vocal range is exceptional.” As the third in the series, Griesbach finds her home on this album stretching her boundaries further both as an artist and a producer.
