As an accompanist, gourmet, and coffee enthusiast, Grace has traveled the world playing music, trying new foods, and enjoying delicious coffee. In addition to playing and singing at Sylvania First, she plays with the Blue Water Kings, a wedding band in Detroit and Cleveland, accompanies for several choirs at UT, and records at her home studio. She enjoys playing and listening to many different genres of music, especially singer-songwriter and classic rock. She has studied classical piano throughout her life, but The Beatles will always be her first love.
Jessica has loved music since she was very young, and she sang her first church solo at age 7. She sings many genres of music from Christian to jazz to classical. While earning a bachelor’s degree in vocal performance and a master’s degree in music education, she sang with vocal ensembles at both BGSU and UT. She has performed with the Toledo Opera, at Mud Hens and Walleye games, and at Murphy’s Place, the legendary Toledo jazz club. Jessica loves to travel and go to concerts, and she combines the two whenever possible. She’s a movie aficionado and highly anticipates the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas movies. She teaches music for Toledo Public Schools and is excited to be a part of Sylvania First’s music ministry.
