"Shelly Rudolph is a captivating and robust vocalist and Tom Grant is at the top of his game." — JazzTimes TOM GRANT and SHELLY RUDOLPH have been delighting audiences throughout their native Pacific Northwest for well over a decade with an infectious mix of jazz, soul, and pop. They share an inescapable chemistry and charm that are evident from the very first note. Their vocal duets are sexy and sweet, and Shelly’s sultry vocals are beautifully supported by Tom’s tasteful piano playing. A celebrated pianist, composer, and recording artist, Tom Grant has toured internationally with jazz legends including Tony Williams, Joe Henderson, and Charles Lloyd. His chart-topping recordings helped define the contemporary jazz movement, and his performances continue to showcase the lyricism, groove, and musicality that have made him one of the Pacific Northwest's most beloved artists. His latest release, *Omniphoria*, celebrates nearly five decades of artistry, reflecting the enduring collaborations, friendships, and musical connections that have shaped his remarkable career. Described by ArtsWatch as “part mermaid, part chanteuse,” Shelly Rudolph is a vocalist, songwriter, poet, and performer whose artistry blends jazz, soul, and timeless songcraft into performances that are equal parts sensual, intimate, and deeply human. With “a honey-glazed throat to send chills up and down your spine” (LA Weekly), she captivates audiences with performances rich in warmth, storytelling, and magnetic presence. She has performed and recorded with artists including Grammy Award-winning cellist David Darling, Charlie Hunter, Ken Stange (Joe Cocker), and David Matthews (Santana). Shelly's original multidisciplinary production, *Orfea Rising: A Jazz Myth Suite*, premieres at the Montavilla Jazz Festival on September 5, 2026. Together, Tom and Shelly create performances that are joyful, soulful, intimate, and deeply engaging—drawing audiences into an evening of exceptional musicianship, connection, and song.
