Jazz vocalist Janet Planet is no stranger to the stage or the season. Known for her smooth style and heartfelt delivery, she has delighted audiences worldwide for decades.

Pegasis, the Appleton-based band that weaves folk, pop, and Latin influences, will bring their signature blend of artistry and authenticity to the stage. Their music has a warmth that fits the season perfectly, promising to both uplift and inspire.

We’re thrilled to have Steve March-Tormé return to the Grateful Groove stage. Steve is celebrated for his rich vocals, magnetic stage presence, and natural storytelling ability. With a repertoire spanning jazz, pop, and holiday standards, March-Tormé promises to deliver a performance full of sparkle and nostalgia.
