![]() I've developed many shows appropriate for concerts, private and corporate events, weddings, and school educational concerts: Greta's Holiday ShowAs featured on KPLU's Christmas Jam, this show is an evening of familiar holiday classics and some lesser know but beautiful songs by Johnny Mathis, Henry Mancini, Burt Bacharach, the Carpenters, Judy Garland, and the Tijuana Brass! Songs include: Every Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas, Giving, I Want a Hippoptamus for Christmas, It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, and all the usual classics. My latest Christmas CD, "Have Yourself a Jazzy Little Christmas," a collaboration with pianist, Mike Strickland, is a wonderful example of the holiday season's material. Here are some audio samples:
Light Out of Darkness: The Music of Ray CharlesA brand new show featuring Greta and the quartet performing some of Ray Charles' greatest hits, R&B, jazz and ballads. Songs include: Let the Good Times Roll, Just for a Thrill, Hit the Road Jack, Drown in My Own Tears and Sticks and Stones.
