Louise Grasmere combines all the grace and elegance of the classic jazz singers with the ringing power and authority of the great blues shouters, with a voice of extraordinary emotional depth and an ability to embody the soul of each song she sings. Her sound is compelling, haunting at times, angry, powerful, full of love and passion and always deeply real. Performing in and around Boston in sold-out concerts for decades, Grasmere is a local jazz and blues legend with a devoted grass-roots following. Her sound is wholly her own – a unique fusion of jazz-influenced rhythm and blues seasoned with Motown, gospel and soul. Think Bonnie Raitt laced with the smooth landscapes of Joni Mitchell, the imaginative improvisations of Ella Fitzgerald, and the gritty authenticity of Big Mama Thornton.

Louise was an original member of the Mystic Chorale, singing with Nick Page from the days of his earliest “Power Sings” in the 1990’s, and was a regular featured soloist with the Mystic for over thirty years. She is currently recording a new album of all-new original songs, due out later this year. Learn more about Louise here.
