Whether you need background music for your event or a riveting center stage performance, the Lea Grant Quartet will work with you to create the right music to complement your vision.
With nearly 20 years of performance experience, Lea knows how to charm and enchant an audience.
We had Brant (on piano) and Tim (upright bass) out for our grand opening event. They exceeded our expectations in every way. Their music was 100% on point. It wasn't overwhelming or too loud. It was simply perfect for setting a professional and relaxing mood at our event! We would definitely recommend and have them out again!
Response from Lea Grant Quartet:
Hi Brittany,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review! I am so glad to hear that the event went well and that the music exceeded your expectations. Thank you again for your choosing us!
Lea and her group were amazing to work with. We hosted a group of 130+ high net worth investors and they were the perfect compliment to a great night. We only heard amazing things from our guests about the music and atmosphere. Very professional, responsive, and flexible.
Lea was great, her voice is like an Angel!!!!
Response from Lea Grant Quartet:
Thank you so much!
Lea was absolutely amazing for the dinner we held. Very professional and easy to work with.
She and her team are very talented and we will absolutely be hiring her for events in the future.
We hired Lea to perform, in a trio format, with a keyboard and upright bass player, at our father's 88th birthday party in a senior living facility. This was the absolutely perfect choice!
Lea was always very responsive in the booking and planning stage. She also helped us to determine the blend of instruments that would work best and we co-created a set list catering to Dad's favorite tunes and that would appeal to a wide age range (20-something to 90). We scoped it out as a 45-minute set but the time flew by and we were fortunate enough that the band was able to play an additional 15 minutes to accommodate ending with Happy Birthday as the cake was presented. (If we book again, we'd definitely plan on an hour, at least.) The volume level was just perfect for people to be able to enjoy the music and have conversations over their meal together. Everyone really enjoyed the band's contribution and my mother said afterwards "It's the nicest party we've ever thrown."
If you are looking for entertainment that feels classy and elegant but also approachable and universally appreciated, don't hesitate to book Lea! You will not be disappointed.
Response from Lea Grant Quartet:
Karen, thank you so much for the epic review! We enjoyed performing at your father’s party.
Lea and her wonderful band were amazing! Our guests at our event enjoyed the music and Lea’s Angelic Vocals. She even had some of our elderly guests dancing in their chair as they couldn’t get on their feet. They were the highlight of our event. Looking to have them back.
Response from Lea Grant Quartet:
Thank you so much Ivonne! We had a lot of fun performing at the event. So glad everyone enjoyed it!

I booked them sort of last minute for Christmas Day at the senior living facility that I work at, and Lea was able to make it work for us. She made it easy to communicate all of our special needs beforehand. But our residents can't stop talking about how amazing they were! The Lea Grant Quartet made our Christmas even more special! 10/10 would recommend
Response from Lea Grant Quartet:
Caroline, Thank you for having us and for this review!! We appreciate it so much. We loved playing for the residents at Kensington and are so pleased to hear that they are still talking about our performance! That’s the highest compliment. 😊
We had the pleasure of having the Lea Grant Quartet play at our Firm’s Holiday Party. They were great and added a touch of class we really appreciated and enjoyed. Excellent musicians. Would recommend for any event.

Thank you again for choosing us Nina! We had a wonderful time playing at your event.
We hired the Lea Grant Quartet for an anniversary party and it was so worth it! They sounded great and were super professional and easy to work with. Lea has a lovely voice and is a good communicator. The quartet definitely classed up the party :)
We hired Lea and her quartet for my mother's 75th birthday. They were outstanding. I couldn't be happier. The music really set the vibe, and everyone enjoyed it. Some of the tunes were really captivating, and some set a lovely mood while guests could socialize and enjoy the party.
They were so professional, and the quality was tops! Thank you for making my mother's birthday feel top notch!
Response from Lea Grant Quartet:
Thank you so much for your review Alycia! I really appreciate it!! We had a great time performing at your mother’s celebration. I hope she had a happy birthday!
Lea and her piano accompaniment, Alex, just recently played music for our residents at the retirement community that I work for on Valentine's Day night and the residents absolutely loved her! One of the residents sent me a thank you note for having her and said, "she was fabulous! Her music brought us back to the 50's and the early 60's in a very nostalgic way!" I would highly recommend her!
Response from Lea Grant Quartet:
Callie, thank you again for having us! We had a great time performing for the residents. It was a lovely event!

I have a wide network of fantastic jazz musicians that I work with. I can offer an intimate jazz duo setting, perfect for a wedding cocktail hour or relaxing weekend brunch, or a larger ensemble with rhythm section and a horn or two if desired. I most often perform with a piano trio (piano, upright bass and drums.) I love to sing standards, and can sing up to 4 unique 50 minute sets.
