THE GRAND AT HOME: ERIN KREBS and JEFF JOHNSTON DUO

Saturday, May 2 | 8:00 p.m. Subscribe and enjoy at ! In 2016, Jazziz Magazine wrote that Erin Krebs “may be a best-kept secret of her native Wisconsin“. It seems the word is out, as this dynamic performer is well on her way to becoming one of Wisconsin’s premier and most treasured vocalists. In 2019, Erin was named “Female Vocalist of the Year“ by WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) and in 2018, the Erin Krebs & Jeff Johnston duo was named “Jazz Artist of the Year“ by WAMI. Each year, more and more music lovers are finding out about this talented, genre-crossing duo, but their local fans have been enjoying their music for over a decade. The pair met in 2006. Jeff’s soulful, blues-inspired guitar playing influenced Erin toward the blues while Erin’s polished, improvisatory Jazz style persuaded Jeff to learn more about Jazz. Throw in their other influences in R&B, Rock, Soul, and Pop and you have something truly unique. In addition to their large catalog of Jazz standards, Blues, and covers, Erin is also finding her way as a songwriter. She has an entire album of original songs, and more unreleased material. Erin’s songwriting is much like her influences and spans the genres of Jazz, Blues, and R&B. Jeff’s skilled guitar playing is the perfect compliment to what Erin is singing- whether it’s a heartfelt ballad, an uptempo swing tune, a bawdy blues, or a reimagined Pop song.
