Michelle Willis

Jazz Folk Contemporary Singer/Songwriter

Steeped in the sounds of the 60s and 70s, but fresh with contemporary nuance, Michelle will be performing an intimate set on piano, voice and guitar featuring music from her own catalogue and collaborations with David Crosby (of Crosby, Stills and Nash), Three Metre Day, and others.

New York-based Canadian singer, songwriter and keyboard player Michelle Willis has been lauded for her haunting and pristine vocals and poetic songwriting skills. Prior to launching a solo career, Michelle amassed an impressive résumé through a variety of collaborations and work as a session keyboardist. She’s spent the last several years in bands led by David Crosby, Snarky Puppy, Becca Stevens, Michael McDonald, Laura Mvula, Zac Brown Band, and Iggy Pop. Michelle released her sophomore album, Just One Voice, on GroundUP Music in 2022. The album features performances by Crosby, Stevens, McDonald, Gregoire Maret, and Taylor Ashton, and was produced with Fab Dupont.

“Fluid, powerful, graceful–such a fine writer, a soulful, rich, deep player and bandleader who just swings as if her life depends on it.” –David Crosby
